Kawasaki Exit
One Yellow Rabbit Performance Theatre
An unlikely trio threads through the misty outskirts of Tokyo, stocking up on vodka and briquettes for their final ride. Equal parts mystery and love story, Kawasaki Exit is inspired by the real-life dark side of Japanese social networking sites. This original new play is performed in English and Japanese by the award-winning One Yellow Rabbit Ensemble. By Blake Brooker with translation by Manami Hara.
One Yellow Rabbit is the longest-running theatrical ensemble in Canada. The Ensemble creates new, original theatrical works each year and has toured its award-winning brand of performance across North America, Australia, Asia, Mexico and Europe. So far the company has created over 75 full-length productions. The style is known for being physical, interdisciplinary, experimental yet entertaining, intelligent, often funny, and indigenous in that it is conceived and performed by artists from Calgary. The OYR Ensemble won the Lieutenant Governor of Alberta Arts Award in 2007.
