His first own solo performance project by Zachary Oberzan, also known as a member of NY based company “Nature Theater Oklahoma”, makes its Japanese debut. As kids in rural America, Zachary and his older brother Gator loved making parodies of their favorite films, most notably Jean-Claude Van Damme’s karate opus Kickboxer, and the notorious cult film Faces of Death. Then twenty years passed. Estranged from his family, Zack returned to his childhood home to re-create these films, shot for shot, as precisely as possible. Through their subtle mix of home video, Hollywood film footage and live performance, the audience will discover the brothers’ relationship. One of them became a reputable actor who earns his living on stage and on screen. The other hit the rocks and did some time in prison, where he saw acting as the “art of manipulation”. The question is: could things have turned out otherwise? After its premier at Kunstenfestivaldesarts 2010 in Brussels and a world tour, this great piece, which never fails to make the audience burst out laughing and crying, comes to Kyoto.
