Influential Japanese director Shogo Ohta’s poetic masterwork "The Water Station (Mizu No Eki)" utilizes his revolutionary style of slow tempo and silence to explore human relationships with the elements and each other. Through riveting slow movement and only the actor’s silent expressions, the play depicts the dramatic stories of travelers, displaced by an unspecified atrocity, making their way to a public water spigot.  

“….hypnotic and transporting…an evocative antidote to our daily cacophony, offering quietude as a way of theater.” — The New York Times
