Description
When servants become master of the house – a play on subversion and absurdity by the iconoclastic Terayama Shuji
Terayama Shuji based ‘Nuhikun’ on Jonathan Swift’s satirical essay ‘Directions to Servants’. The play is set in a mansion filled with deviant servants without the presence of a master. When the servants become the master of the house, the ending is unexpected. ‘Nuhikun’ exposes the audience to a sadomasochistic universe combining elements of surrealism, dream work and Brecht-like theatrics of defamiliarisation. Accompanied by fantastic machines, rock music and operatic echoes, this production has amazed audiences with the avant-garde director’s world of wonder with eye-popping visual bravura.
