Poster Design YTG 39 performance

We have just sent off the poster design for a new theatre play by Yokohama Theatre artistic director Andrew Woolner.

*39* is a devised play about a man (who we know only as '39') who goes into space for six years, but due to the effects of traveling close to the speed of light, returns to Earth after 39 years have passed.

*39* is currently being rehearsed and created by Kimberly Tierney (director)
and Andrew Woolner (actor and writer). The show will be presented at least
five times in Japan, United Kingdom and Canada:

Yokohama (March 27& 28, 2010)
London, Ontario at the Fringe Festival (June 17 - 27, 2010)
Tokyo (July, 2010)
Edmonton Fringe (August, 2010)
Victoria Fringe (August 26 - September 5, 2010)

In each of these cities the play will change. Andrew will be working with a
different supporting actor in each venue. Each supporting actor will be
playing a different character from the life of 39.

The show will involve text, movement, and multimedia elements (including
sound scapes, created by composer Eric Rubio). The scenes will be presented
in a non-chronological way, following the themes of the play, rather than
the timeline.

designer sembei aoyama

Recently many new shops have opened between Koto Dori and Omotesando Station. One of the more interesting ones combines Japanese tradition with a modern ascetic style. Jukka sells rice crackers but presents it as designer jewelry, on a pedestal, under glass. The exquisite tea companions come in various shapes and ingredients. The shop offers free tasting if you would happen to pass by.
