Program Note
In the early Showa era there was a man who kept breaking out of jails. His name was Masayuki Suzuki. His creative ways of breaking out and transcending physical ability, made every single escape a wonder to behold. He was always successful. As more and more escapes are successfully completed by Suzuki, he comes to be the center of people’s attention as if he was an iconic person and a hero. However, the surveillance won’t stay quiet, and their battles become more technical and psychological. In the end, Suzuki is sent to the ‘Confined (Prison) Island’ where people whisper “nobody comes out from there.” It is undeniable to wonder if Suzuki will manage to succeed his escape from the so-called unbreakable ‘Confined (Prison) Island.’ (Shion YANG)
