Shigeki Nakano + Frankens “Halfway to Hanshichi”

On the trail of Edo’s famous old detective stories in Matsudo

Known for its radical “mistranslations” of Western and Eastern classics into contemporary everyday settings, Shigeki Nakano + Frankens returns to Festival/Tokyo for the first time in four years. This new work is based on the popular Kido Okamoto detective stories, “The Curious Casebook of Inspector Hanshichi,” which are richly steeped in the atmosphere of Edo (feudal-era Tokyo). Audiences will experience this site-specific adaptation in the city of Matsudo in Chiba Prefecture, which is separated from Tokyo by a river. Hunting for clues to solve a mysterious case, audiences travel between various unique locations in the city.
