The Nekaa Room: Not Outside
 | Not Outside is the seventh production in The Nekaa Room series of Sachiyo Takahashi’s Microscopic Live Cinema-Theatre. The main character is a sheep who, from previous Nekaa Room performances, is known to love big adventures. In this piece, however, the sheep cannot go outside due to circumstances out of its control. Through boredom and with simple curiosity, the sheep starts to explore the things that are close by its daily space. What is connected to this small world not outside? This is a story of a tiny journey that might be the size of a universe. |
Artist Sachiyo Takahashi
 | Born in Niigata, Japan, Sachiyo Takahashi is an artist who, through her quirky theatrical settings, explores human nature and forgotten emotion. Her recent “Microscopic Live Cinema-Theatre” magnifies a world populated with oddities of figurines and found objects. Combining fine-tuned sound and fable-like abstract narratives, Sachiyo leads the audience through a journey that transcends ordinary imagination. Her works have been presented internationally including the Advancing Performing Arts Project in the EU, the Prague Quadrennial of Performance Design and Space and the International Symposium on Electronic Art in Japan. She was a recipient of the Pola Art Foundation grant in 2003. Sachiyo currently lives and works in Vancouver, Canada. |
