1969：A Space Odyssey ? Oddity ! ,although inspired by Jean-Paul Sartre’s Huis clos (No Exit), setting has been transferred to the outer space in near future and reconstructed entirely.
At the time on the earth, the year of 1969, when human being have put the first step upon the surface of the Moon, is being repeated.
‘Does science outlive History?’
Should our heroes, the three astronauts, find any answer to this ultimate question? What kind of an answer could it be if they should find one?
Trusted for being energetic, sur-realistic and evocative of metamorphoses of meanings, KAIMAKU PENNANT RACE proudly present our newest production at The 25th Shimokitazawa Theater Festival & A TPAM Showcase program, aiming at playing overseas soon.（Running Time 60 minutes / with English Subtitles）
