Akira TAKAYAMA
He was born in 1969. He formed the theatre unit Port B, which is recreated in a different form for each project, in 2002 and has been involved in a wide range of activities, including installation art using actual cities, tour performances, social experiments, speech events and sightseeing tours. At the base of all of these activities is the question “what is theatre?” He has expanded the possibilities of theatre and is pursuing ways to connect it to society. His works include “Tokyo/Olympics” (Hato bus tour), “Sunshine 62”, “Compartment City – Tokyo”, “The Complete Manual of Evacuation”, “Referendum Project”, “Kein Licht (Fukushima Epilog?)”, “Tokyo Heterotopia and Yokohama Commune”, and recent works include “McDonald’s Radio University” and “Wagner Project”.
