ART FOR ALL GOES TO The Window of Spaceship ‘In-Between’ (THEATRE)

Toshiki Okada’s “In-Between” follows the journey of the spaceship ‘In-Between,’ carrying a crew tasked with spreading the Japanese language across the universe. Through this sci-fi adventure, Okada explores group dynamics and language ownership. Using non-native Japanese speakers as actors, he highlights how language belongs to its speakers, touching on Japan’s colonial history and linguistic expansion. As the crew encounters an android and an alien, they ponder on origins and nostalgia for Earth. The play becomes a reflection on identity and belonging, suspended in the vastness of space.
