Yoji Sakate さかて ようじ award

A play by Yoji Sakate that allegorically portrays urban anxiety in the bubble era through garbage bags, breath, and ritual-like groups. It links social issues to bodily sensation and became a representative early work of Rinkogun.

A nighttime ritual of breathing into garbage bags exposes the suffocation of the city.
