The Intermediatheque welcomes stage director Akira Takayama for a discussion event with Seil Kim, leader of theatrical company SEAMI and stage director of “Play IMT.” Akira Takayama is the leader of Port B, a creative unit searching for ways to expand the possibilities of theatre and exploring new methods for connecting theatre to society, in its inquiry into the nature of theatre itself.
Since October 2014, the University Museum, the University of Tokyo (UMUT) and SEAMI lead the collaborative theatrical project “Play IMT,” staged at the Intermediatheque. This project pursues new possibilities for original theatrical expression within the Intermediatheque’s non-theatrical space.
In this context, the present event will present Akira Takayama and Seil Kim’s respective thoughts on theatre based on their creative activities, offering an opportunity to reconsider the possibilities of theatre as a mode of expression.
