KYOTO EXPERIMENT 2017 Xiaoxing Sun "Here Is the Message You Asked For... Don't Tell Anyone Else ;-)"
- Genre：

A leading figure in the Beijing fringe theater scene, playwright, director and critic Xiaoxing Sun presents his work for the first time in Japan. This is his most recent play, which starts with a mundane scene: girls sitting on beds using their phones. They do whatever takes their fancy, from live streaming to cosplay. As they become increasingly immersed in a virtual world, the play gradually dissolves the line between the performers and audience. This much-discussed work, whose titlecomes from the subject line used by the computer virus Melissa, expresses the state of society today where the virtual is slowly encroaching on reality.
＊Performed in Chinese. A Japanese translation will be available on LINE.
