Japan Society, in association with PlayCo, presents a virtual production of “Ludic Proxy: Fukushima,” written and directed by Brooklyn-based theater-maker Aya Ogawa. Set a few years after the 2011 earthquake, tsunami and subsequent nuclear disaster in Fukushima Prefecture, this video adaptation of the second act of Ogawa’s play “Ludic Proxy” (commissioned by PlayCo and first performed in 2015), follows a woman named Maho, visiting her sister Maki on the outskirts of the Fukushima nuclear evacuation zone. Maho functions as the audience’s avatar in the story as she cautiously navigates daily life in their hometown post-3.11, which takes on added urgency when Maki reveals that she is pregnant. Using video games as a dramaturgy, viewers are asked to vote in real time by “audience polling” to determine how Maho progresses through a harrowing set of circumstances. In this new digital adaptation, featuring original cast members Saori Tsukada as Maho and Yuki Kawahisa as Maki, the line between actual and virtual reality begins to blur in an interactive, dark play exploring human survival. This unique offering commemorates the 10th Anniversary of the Great East Japan Earthquake and subsequent nuclear disaster in Fukushima Prefecture. Performed in Japanese, this production will be streamed with English subtitles.
