The Kara company will perform the 77th representation(s) of the Tin soldier. KARA Juro is a major figure of the theater underground movement of the sixties, and led the trend to perform outside of theaters, on the streets, in public gardens, outside control. He inspired a great number of leading playwrights and directors, including Tadashi SUZUKI or, on the butoh scene, Akaji MARO. As in 1967, the Tin soldier will be played in public gardens and open spaces, in Hanazono shrine (May 15-17, June 6-14), in Zoshigaya (May 23-31), after the Black Tent has moved from Kobe (April 17-18), Okayama (April 25-26) and Mie (May 2-3). All in Japanese, but let us not miss a rare chance to experience this theatrical experience, this taste of the underground sixties, which marked Japan for years, and still has a major influence on the current Tokyo scene.
