  • Satoko Ichihara/Q  ”KITTY”

A radical redefinition of life and sexuality in the latest “cosmic” play by Satoko Ichihara

Playwright and director Satoko Ichihara is known for her fearless and subtle probing of taboos and sexual contradictions in society today. KITTY asks incisive questions about the comic and absurd distortions that arise from patriarchy, capitalism, and mass production and consumption, and about the global homogenization of desire.

Livestock whose reproduction is controlled to become food. Sexual contexts that entrap people without them realizing it. Appalling work conditions ushered in by the pursuit of profit above all else. Is a utopia possible from the constant repetition of seemingly cute dialogue that makes meaning iridescent?!

A cast from Japan, South Korea, and Hong Kong brings to life this play brimming with energy and satire, and which will send shock waves through audiences.
