This summer Japan Society offers an unconventional presentation of psychiatrist-turned-director/playwright Kuro Tanino s The Dark Master. Inspired by an indie manga, this immersive and humorously dark experimental theater piece engages the audience with sights, sounds and smells.
Through Virtual Reality (VR) headsets, headphones, and live on-stage cooking, the piece positions each audience member in first person perspective as the play s protagonist, an unassuming patron of a Japanese diner. Performed by Tanino s experimental theater company Niwa Gekidan Penino, the story depicts the strange, symbiotic relationship that develops between the customer and the restaurant s owner-chef simply called the Master. Borrowing the dramaturgy of first-person video games, the audience experiences first-hand how the Master s all-consuming persona highjacks the identity of his victims in a novel production that collapses the border between reality and illusion.

NOTHING makes the heart yearn for home more than travel. When Alena Murang took the songs of the Dayak Kelabit and Kenyah to foreign lands around the world, her heart longed for the dense jungle, the rushing rapids, the longhouses, and the people of her ancestral home along the Baram River in Sarawak.
Alena usually performs alongside her bandmates – co-writer Joshua Maran who plays the guitar, Jonathan Wong who is also on guitar, bassist Herman Ramanado, and drummer Jimmy Chong.
