Momochi’s World #6 “Sabaku Umi

Pink Underground Man #3

Barrier-free Japanese subtitles

ABOUT

Momochi's World" is a series of works by Pink Underground Man No. 3, who has presented works related to "sound" in the past. "Sabakuumi," the sixth in the series, is an ambitious work that uses Japanese sign language as the first online theater. This voice play, centered on a couple whose world was changed when they encountered the "visible voice" of sign language, explores a number of aspects of participation, including those who can hear and those who cannot, those who are suppressed by society and those who unconsciously join the side of society, the meaning of being a participant, fiction and reality, and even gender. It is a work of overwhelming concentration.

Message from artist / creator

I have presented a number of works with a strong focus on “sound”.

I think I even took pride in being a professional when it came to the “sound” of theater.

However, all of this was erased when I happened to meet people from the Deaf culture.

I am ashamed that I never considered the possibility that there might be deaf people sitting in the audience.

All I’ve done is make plays where you can hear the sound.

So I wanted to make a play where I could see the sound, and that’s how “Sabakuumi” came to be.

This play uses Japanese sign language, but the next play will use Japanese sign language and is being produced with deaf actors.

I think you will enjoy it as a stepping stone to the next film.

We hope you will enjoy it.
