E078: “The Merchants of the Earth Cover All the River - Traveling Theatre” by Baby Pee

Summary

A theatrical piece reviewing the history of Echigo-Tsumari as viewed from the long-abandoned “river transports” which were once an essential part of people’s life. The play consisting of two acts: “Farm Village” and “City” and will be touring the region during the triennale. The great dynamic between the traffic of people, living creatures, religions and entertainments which were once transported to and from here will appear in the quiet “satoyama” landscape.
The contemporary period of rapid growth, middle age, and doll-drama – the drama goes beyond time to explore river, land, and ocean, the difference between truth and fiction in art being very subtle.
＜Farm Village-chapter＞”Akumade Nigai Cha” and ＜City-chapter＞ “Kurutta Mugi” will be travelling through the ETAT region as they present their theatrical performance.
