Professing ourselves to be “the most accessible form of art in Roppongi Art Night history”, 3 years have passed since we first participated in 2015’s “Open Call Project”. We have been fortunate enough to be invited to many art festivals since then, and this year, we are back in Roppongi to showcase our Switch = “A 3 - 30 second play that begins with a push of a switch”. The performance won’t start unless you push the switch, but we don’t want to impose. We’re trying to find the perfect balance between the impulsiveness of art and being sympathetic to the audience. All performances are inspired by and unique to Roppongi. Push the switches around the city and start the crazy yet peaceful short stories!
