It all began with a show at the Nô theatre, in 2018. It was a sad story of a woman dying as she awaited the return of her husband. In spite of the words and songs, which felt to me like obscures incantations, I was dazzled by the whole experience – the set, the space, the costumes, the masks, the music, as well as the actors and their roles – and it awakened my nostalgia for Asian culture and my interest in the art of theatre. I wanted to stoke these sparks. I am standing before a maze, the maze of theatre and of life: where is the way out? No one knows. Be that as it may, I am recording my research, my observations, my little thoughts, to create a portrait of my inner world and share it with you.
