About: Trance
When a chance meeting reunites three old school friends, now making their living as a struggling writer, a psychiatrist, and a drag artist, they are all too eager to get reacquainted. But as the stories they tell each other become more and more surreal – from unrequited passions and split personalities to male eunuchs and escaped Japanese Emperors – they start to question their own and each other’s sanity, with hilarious consequences.
Shot through with Shoji Kokami’s trademark wit, ingenuity and wicked humour, Trance is a story of three solitary individuals, their quest for love, and the true meaning of their existence.
‘Kokami is the leading figure of his generation in Japanese theatre. His dramatic creativity reflects the youth of contemporary Japan’
