Inspired by traditional Japanese Bunraku puppet’s “invisible” figure (Kurogo) on stage, 

“Kurogo Me, Together!” spotlights what is perceived “invisible”, and “invisibility” becomes the core through the participatory performance art.

“Kurogo Me, Together!” is an accompanying piece performed immediately after “Kurogo Me version1.x”; the audience members get to perform the role of Kurogo character and see the world in “invisible” Kurogo’s perspective. Following this embodied simulation experience, they are navigated to the discussion forum to analyze and exchange their experience of being “invisible”.
It challenges the conventional performance-for-performance-sake format, and redefines the performance as a vehicle for an embodied discussion platform for a community building.
