art work titleFsakaemachi ryukyu puppet+comedy
siteF Naha sakaemachi market
concept (aug 2008j

The Sakaemachi ryukyu puppet was inspired by an old traditional ryukyu puppet found in the recycle shop inside Sakaemachi market square. How would such a traditional puppet look like, if it should refer to nowaday's ryukyu inhabitants? I want to create a new ryukyu puppet which mirrors the life inside the market square and offers another point of view on the common people inside Sakaemachi.
The comedy is based on the the insights i will gain through creating the Sakaemachi ryukyu puppet. I will use traditional comedy techniques to express contemporary ryukyu people's life.
The people from Sakaemachi will enjoy episodes from manners and methods they invented themselves and outsiders will understand the qualities of the market square.
