About the Event
From the world-renowned Theater Company RINKOGUN comes a humorous play about the trials and errors of Thai, Filipino, and Japanese people who share their countries with one another. In this production, a young man is investigating the actual conditions of ‘Retire-men’, or Japanese people who move to Southeast Asian countries.
What lies behind their seemingly carefree and peaceful second lives? Then there are the people who struggle to accept “Retire-men”, and the harsh realities facing those who cross borders to find employment. Can we all acknowledge our differences and live together?
