 | DVD box “Shogo Ota Selected Theatre Works” released; plays of the late master of silent theater |
| | Kyoto Performing Arts Center has released a DVD box containing video recordings of six plays by the late Shogo Ota, who passed away in July 2007. Also in this collection titles “Shogo Ota Selected Theatre Works” is a recording of an interview with the playwright. This collection of performances of representative works like Mizu no Eki (English title: The Water Station) will surely prove to be a valuable video record of the career of Shogo Ota, a playwright and director whose “silent (wordless) theatre” works brought international attention to Japanese avant-garde theater.
