A play that makes the Zen monk Dogen and a modern patient meet within dream logic. It unsettles religion, desire, and language through comic devices while keeping the physical energy of the stage.

Inside and outside the dream reverse, and questions of enlightenment turn comic and chaotic.

A collection of Minoru Betsuyaku's absurdist plays including the title work. Everyday conversation gradually slips out of alignment, turning discomfort with community and authority into quiet laughter and unease.

A gentle rustling of words makes the rules of the world itself seem doubtful.

A critical work on the theatrical sensibility of the Japanese, read through history and culture. It is not limited to theatre studies, but examines modern Japan's self-image and forms of expression.

The gaze toward the stage turns toward the history of how Japanese people have performed themselves.
