Winner of Directors’ Choice Award at Melbourn International Comedy Festival 2023

I’m Japanese and I have lived in Australia for almost four years. I worry about so many things in Australia because I am still suffering from cultural differences and language barriers. The more westernised I become, the more I worry about the details of Australian life and people. I’m also worried about Japan. Before I came to Australia, certain things in Japan were normal for me. Now that I am westernised, I have so many new worries about Japan and Japanese people.

This show is about my personal anxiety as a Japanese person who lives in Australia. My identity is lost between Japan and Australia.
