Tokyo Notes

The Japan Foundation, Kuala Lumpur (JFKL) and The Kuala Lumpur Performing Arts Centre (KLPac) are proud to present Oriza Hirata's Tokyo Notes. The piece will be directed by Hirata and performed by the Seinendan Theatre Company in Japanese with English and Malay subtitles.

Tokyo Notes led Hirata on to win the 39th Kishida Kunio Drama Award (1995), the most important and prestigious award for Japanese playwrights. Since then, it has been translated into seven languages and has been performed in nine different countries around the world.

The play centres around an assortment of people who visit a small art museum in Tokyo in 2004 to see the paintings evacuated from war-torn Europe. Focusing on their various concerns (family, job, war, art etc), this play constructs a whole world of its own, just like a picture made from mosaic tiles.
