Kishida Kunio Drama Award

かえりの合図、まってた食卓、そこ、きっと、しおふる世界。

Takahiro Fujita

This play layers memories of family and community around signals for returning home, waiting at the table, and a world scented with salt. Through intimate language and repeated bodily movement, it stages the desire for a place to return to and the time that has been lost.
