Japan Foundation, Manila presents YAJI and KITA at the Francisco Santiago Hall (October 27-29)


The Japan Foundation, Manila (JFM), in cooperation with the MCO Foundation and the Equitable PCIBank, invites the public to the free staging of “YAJI and KITA,” a stage adaptation of a comic book called "Mr. Yaji and Mr. Kita in Deep" written by Kotobuki Shiriagari.

The play will be staged at the Francisco Santiago Hall, Makati City from October 27-29, 2006.

"YAKI andf KITA" is taken from one of the most important pieces of Japanese classic literature, Tokai Dochu Hizakurige, which was written by Juppensha Ikku approximately two hundred years ago (in the late Edo era).

A subtle hint of an American new cinema, Midnight Cowboy, can be seen in the piece, though it is not a road movie but a road comic.

The main characters, Yaji and Kita leave Edo to visit Ise Shrine, hoping to find something real in this world. They are stopped by rain at a small inn. As the persistent rain lasts for days, endless ideas start to fill their mind and they waver between fantasy and reality. When time and space of reverie get entangled, Yaji and Kita become unsure of whether they left Edo or not and nightmares of the two unfold with humor and absurdity.

Yaji and Kita is written and directed by Tengai Amano and produced by the KUDAN Project.
