Work Information
Within landscapes drawn in chalk, people who have lost something move forward a little.
Winner of the 56th Kishida Kunio Drama Award. Using the simple devices of chalk and walls, the play depicts people who have slipped out of family and social stability. Even while carrying the weight of reality, it is sustained by Seiji Nozoe's humor and physical theatricality.
Review Summaries
-
