Toshiki Okada, director of Five Days in March will discuss his work on contemporary youth culture and insularity in Japan. The Chelfitsch production of Five Days in March directed by Toshiki Okada, examines the daily lives of young Japanese urbanites over the first few days of the invasion of Iraq. Contrasting the passivity of youth anomie with the absurd level of destruction, through a blending of acting styles Okada explores privatised consciousness common to his generation in Japan. |
Assoc Prof Peter Eckersall will discuss the work of Chelfitsch with Toshiki Okada. Eckersall lectures in Theatre Studies at the School of Culture and Communication (SCC), University of Melbourne since the 1990s in the fields of contemporary and avant-garde theatre and performance, Japanese theatre and dramaturgy. He currently has an Australian Research Council discovery project to research ‘Revolution and the everyday: performative interactions in art, theatre and politics in Japan’.
