A lone man walks slowly. He buys a ticket, and on the platform, he boards a train. However, he is joined by another man. They remain formal at first, but upon realizing they are both Deaf, they quickly bond. The two men share numerous stories from what could be called the history of the Deaf. "There is a Utopia for the Deaf," one man says, and the other, though skeptical, is secretly hopeful. As the train approaches the final stop, the first man gets off midway, saying he has errands to run. Arriving at the end of the line, what does the remaining man think?

Originally premiered in Tokyo in 1995 by Akihiro Yonaiyama and Hideaki Nasu, this play has since been performed for sold-out audiences over 50 times across the country. After so many years, this timeless masterpiece is once again being brought back to life by Atom Sunada and Satoshi Ezoe.
