A performance installation by the award-winning Japanese director and playwright Yudai Kamisato, who was born in Peru, focuses on the theme of movement, migrants and tourists through various stories collected from people in South America, Asia and locally where it is presented. When crossing borders, what kind of people do we encounter? What kind of images do we see when we look at them? Following presentations in Japan, Brazil and Peru. During a two-week residency, Kamisato worked work with Jerusalem-born stand-up comedian Daphna Baram, outspoken commentator against occupation of Palestine and visual designer Chengyi Zhou to create a unique experience within the gallery space of The Storey.
