About “+51 Aviación, San Borja”
Born in Lima, Peru, South America, Yudai Kamisato directed the Okazaki Art Theater and became a pioneer of the younger generation of Japanese theater makers. In this September he came for the first time to Yogyakarta, with a work inspired by the root tracing of his existence.
“+51 Aviación, San Borja” refers to her grandmother’s address in Lima. Changing between reportage and fiction, the narrative unfolds the places that Thursdayato has traveled, from Tokyo and Okinawa to her Japanese-Peruvian community of grandmothers, bringing together a Japanese immigrant community that is building a new venue where Japan is still remembered as an “old house”. Referring also to the life of Seki Sano, a dramaturg widely known as the Father of the Mexican Theater, “+51 Aviación, San Borja” is an exploration of the identity and tenacity of the culture of people living in foreign lands. Will touch anyone who has ever felt the gravitational pull of the “homeland”.
Seki Sano (1905 – 66)
Seki Sano played an important role as a proletarian theater director in pre-war Japan. In 1930 he entered Germany after having gone to the United States, following his detention from prison on charges against the Maintenance of Public Order Law. In 1932 he moved to Moscow, the Soviet Union. There he became the assistant to a famous director Vsevolod Meyerhold. In the end he was asked to leave the country by the Soviet authorities, while he was also being investigated and obstructed by the imperial government of Japan. After traveling including to Paris and New York, he entered Mexico in 1939 in exile. In Mexico he founded a theater school that gave rise to a number of theater figures. He made a very important contribution in building a theater in Mexico, and he is still respected as “Father of the Mexican Theater”. He died there in 1966.

In 2006, Thursdayato became the youngest person ever to receive the first prize of the Toga Young Director Competition. He was nominated for Kishida Kunio Drama Award three times in a row and participated in the Tokyo Festival for three years 2010 – 2012.
