Michiru Suzuki is 30, and struggling: with Tokyo, with her parents, her sister, her ex- and current boyfriend, and her unborn child. One day, unsure about where she is going in her disorientated life, she turns to her unborn sister, seeking consultation for things she is as yet unable to define.
Written and directed by award-winning Japanese playwright, screenwriter and novelist Shiro Maeda, Going on the Way to Get Lost is a thought-provoking and engaging play woven around these characters, as they find themselves in situations both real and conceived, exploring contemporary Tokyo and its society. At turns surreal, irreverent, and darkly comic, Maeda explores that contemporary malaise: being 'lost' in the metropolis.
Co-produced by Festival Tokyo 2010
(Performed in Japanese with English surtitles)
[On Shiro Maeda's play Suteru Tabi] ... Clever, engaging, and intriguing. It is surreal, but written with economy; nothing is extraneous, even in the most dream-like sequences.
