日本語\\\\『劇団ゴキブリコンビナート』に似たものを挙げるのは難しいけど、正反対のものなら色々思いつきます。そう。例えば、めざましテレビの「きょうのわんこ」とか東京タワーのイルミネーションとかディズニーランドのエレクトリカルパレードとか、、、こういったキラキラしたもの「善き」ものと対極の位置にあるのが、『劇団ゴキブリコンビナート』なのかもしれません。平成の見世物小屋あるいはDr.エクアドルのパノラマ島。そのゴキブリコンビナートがエロスとフェティッシュ専門のヴァニラ画廊で現在イベント中。化学反応式は、（秘宝館＋お化け屋敷＋シンデレラ城）÷３× H2O ＝ 本当にあったイカ臭い話。彼ら自身曰く“美術と演劇の最も酷い形の結合”だそうです…。「芋虫」とか「家畜人ヤプー」なんかに通じるどこか日本的なグロテスクさがありました。生々しくて、常軌を逸した激しい生の躍動。正直怖かったあ、うん。久々にオビえた。でもTFRの読者なら衝撃に耐えられるはず。ゼヒ。
＜注意＞雨ガッパを持参するか汚れても良い服装にすること ！

本当にあったイカ臭い話』　５月２６日（今週土曜）まで！

english\\\\We saw the theatrical performance of 'Gokiburi Kombinato' in Ginza the other day. Or another way to say it would be "we have seen the most awful combination of art and theatrical performance in Ginza the other day". Or let me put it this way: We have experienced a sex museum, a haunted house and the Cinderella Castle at the same time right in the middle of posh Ginza the other day...
'Gokiburi Kombinato' is a Tokyo underground theatrical performance group. They are notoriously known for their disgusting and violent performance. They often attack audience with rats, pigs, shits, dirty waters, gels and stuff. They even hurt themselves to bleed. Although it is difficult to name something similar to "Gokiburi Kombinat", we can come up with something totally opposite to it. For example, the scent of coffee and croissant on Sunday morning, the decorative illumination of Christmas tree and midafternoon sunlight... Gokiburi Kombinat would be the antithesis of anything good. You know, we need this kind of stimulus sometimes. There is something about their performance that reminds me of grotesqueness in Japanese novels written in the pre- and post-war periods like "The Caterpillar"(Rampo Edogawa) or "Yapoo the Human Cattle"(Shozo Numa). It is like you are wandering around in no-way-out nightmare. The performance was both scary and entertaining. Gotta love the Japanese freak show! Gokiburi means Cockroach in Japanese, by the way.
Please bring a raincoat with you. You'll get dirty.

"The Squid-smelling Real Story": open until May 26th (this Saturday!!)
