  • The Burning Bride

A controversial work that asks questions about the future of a country torn between coexistence and exclusion

The Burning Bride has a fictional setting, but is based on interviews with the Kurdish community living in the cities of Kawaguchi and Warabi in Saitama Prefecture. The Kurds are a stateless ethnic group that inhabits in the mountainous regions of Turkey, Iraq, Syria, and Iran, and currently more than 2,000 Kurds live in the Kawaguchi area. They work hard to learn Japanese so that they can stay in Japan, but must always live with the uncertainty over their long-term future in the country. Problems within an ethnic community have an immediate impact on other local ethnic communities, causing “incidents” in the area. How can we coexist in our fragile society where such things lead directly to exclusion and hate?

About

Pink No. 3

Pink No. 3

The Kyoto-based Pink No. 3 is a playwright and director. A former undertaker. His work is known for blurring the line between the living and the dead, and for its unforgiving portrayal of the darker side of humanity and society. Recent output includes Desert Sea (2020), Water Lily (2021), and the courtroom drama Terror (2022), all of which featured sign language. Treating sign language as a form of body art, his work has gained attention for reinterpreting directing in ways that transcend conventional understandings of accessibility. He aspires to create theater that is truly open to all audiences, such as through using deaf actors and incorporating techniques to ensure accessibility, and engages in new efforts in this vein.
