IGENGO Immersive Theater
About "Intersection"
Experience type theater where the audience can choose and decide as the story moves on.
Immersive theater is a theatrical method that differs from the traditional method of “watching a story”. The audience immerses into the story and "becomes an active part of the story”.
In “Intersection”, the participants become an active role as the play moves on real-time as a “new space-time detective” and investigate the mayor's assassination to prevent it from happening.
Your choice determines which characters will be followed and which part of the town is further investigated.
At the moment of destiny, your actions will greatly change the future of E-gen city.
The theater is set in E-gen city.
The city of E-gen is a vibrant city where sign language and speech intersect. Here, Japanese Sign Language, Japanese and International Sign, and many other languages are used, and communication transcends language barriers.
What waits for you here, is the moment of “connection” that goes beyond language and emerges in the place where there are differences.
You will play a role in the story.
As a member of Space-Time Detective Agency, you will travel back to the past and your mission is to prevent the mayor from being assassinated. You will follow the citizens of E-gen city and find clues to solve the hidden truth of the story.
In Immersive Theater, participants experience the story by following the characters by actively participating in the story.
The whole picture of the story becomes clearer with repeated viewings, so it is difficult to grasp the story of all the characters in a single viewing.
The development and ending of the story will change depending on the actions of the participants in all sessions, so multiple participation will deepen the participants' understanding of the story.
This performance can be enjoyed by everyone (Sign Language fluency is not required).
The characters interact in their own language. Participants will be immersed in the story, moving back and forth between “understanding” and “not understanding,” depending on their own language. Please note that there will be scenes where it is difficult to guarantee complete information in all languages.
Content Warning
This performance contains the following theme: depictionsof killing.
In addition, there may be flashing lights and loud noises during the performance.
