The Sonic Life Of A Giant Tortoise
By Toshiki Okada
Directed by Dan Rothenberg
Translated by Aya Ogawa
From the writer and director of the 2010 PlayCo hit Enjoy, Sonic Life… probes the everyday lives of urban adults. Everything seems comfortable – jobs, relationships. But beneath the surface runs a powerful undercurrent of longing. Sonic Life… is a quirky, dreamlike and poignant theatrical experience from some of the foremost theatre artists of the US and Japan.
