Japan Live Performance - ACE196.4

Landscape. Home of Tadashi Suzuki, theatre director. Rich enough to be able to get out of the capital. The all-male Suzuki Company of Toga, SCOT. Suzuki talking about the importance of leg movements, his training methods, energy and communication. Landscape. Performance of The Cherry Orchard, by Anton Chekhov. Suzuki on using non-Japanese texts. The Cherry Orchard: interpolated pop song. Tokyo at dusk. Restaurant discussion continues, with speaker dividing modern drama into that which emphasises leg movements and that which doesn’t, the latter being like "a floating world of sense". Saburo Teshigawara.
