『The Home Online version』
A university dormitory in London is transformed into a fictional nursing home called〈The Home〉, where the audience stays for 48 hours as trial residents.『The Home』is an immersive theater piece by Olivier Award-winning writer Christopher Greene. The work premiered in the UK in 2019, and after this coronation, it has been reimagined as a Japanese-English co-production online. The Japanese version is written and directed by Naoki Sugawara (OiBokkeShi), a practitioner of「Theatre for the Aged」. In collaboration with Saitama Gold Theater, we will explore「aging」and「care」in the digital world.
