Last October I partook in a tour-style play in Yokohama that was titled "Tsurenakumo Aki no Kaze" (quoted from Basho's haiku on autumn wind) and directed by 49-year-old South Korean artist Seo Hyun-suk.
The play's theme of marriage was related to its Japanese collaborators, Kyunasaka Studio, whose base — the tour's start point — had once been a wedding venue. So attendees such as myself were paired with an actor of the opposite gender and encouraged to talk together as we walked around the locality in a play between an actor and an audience member.
But what turned a stroll into a thrilling drama were the earphones I was issued with to block out any surrounding noise — and the goggles fitted with blinds that the actor sometimes flipped open during the play. So after walking in silent darkness, I was once surprised to find myself on a train; another time standing in front of a peacock flapping its wings in the zoo; and so it went on.
