“フレ フレ Ostrich!! Hayupang Die-Bow-Ken!” is co-directed by Japanese performer and choreographer Naosuke Aokid and theater director Masashi Nukata who is also a musician and composer. Featured in the play are Japanese dancer Mei Yamanaka, metal vocal artist Robi Rusdiana from Indonesia, and two Filipino artists Bunny Cadag and Ulap Angelo Chua.
In the spirit of hybrid theater, the play will be performed on Social Asia Theater (via Zoom) and on-site at Minami Otsuka Hall. “The viewing experience for this work will be different because some may watch it at the performance venues and others online, and there is participation involved,” James explains. “Maybe there will be a time after the pandemic that plays and theater works will be available to be seen both online and on-site. I’m excited for that possibility to enrich the audience experience and how artists express themselves.”
