Since the 9-11 attacks in New York and the beginning of the Iraq War, there has been a great deal of tension in the world. Young, old and children alike are major victims of this awful situation. Then we can throw a question if their hope to live in peace is too much for them. They face a reality that is full of fear, tension and suppression, while at the same time they are badly longing for peace. As one of the extreme examples in the world, we can point to North Korea, a dictatorial country that deprives people of freedom.

   We have a very clear object to plan this performance for expressing how much we wish to keep peace for all the human kinds on this earth. We feel very sorry to see too many young people sacrificing their lives in the wars. Just looking at the reality doesn't do anything for it so we have decided to share this feeling more largely with more people through our POPERA performance. By doing that, we may let others understand better and more strongly how important it is to keep peace among the human races.
