Play IMT (7) - In Between Worlds

Intermediatheque
Finished

Artists

The University Museum, the University of Tokyo (UMUT)
This seventh installment of the Play IMT series reconsiders the series’ basic concept of experimenting with theater and museums, developing a theatrical performance throughout the Intermediatheque, with “the in-between” (that is, what appears between the theatrical and museum worlds) as its key theme.
By actively integrating the Intermediatheque collection and activities as well as people who gather there within the process of theatrical creation, the museum consistently explores what kind of theatrical expression can be crystallized within a museum space. In this performance, the theatrical experimentation within a museum context will gather the Intermediatheque’s space and exhibits, as well as original music and storylines, installations, props, costumes and actors. Therefore, actors are both neutral beings - among the aforementioned theatrical elements - and special entities - mediating and connecting all these elements. Members of the audience are also essential elements of the performance, in that they contribute to give form to various new images emanating throughout the play. As the performance grows organically, members of the audience get gradually involved, thus nourishing the play. This event aims to be participatory, with all the people present contributing to create a new world.
