This performance had 2 components: a silent street performance (Tokyo Ginza - 30 minutes) with 3 characters painted White, Black and Gray; and a sound text blasted from car rooftop speakers (mimicing political propaganda techniques) as it drove through the streets of Tokyo. The speakers recited poetry (1 hour), ending with a reading of Edgar Allan Poe's 'The Raven'. Both components were given on Culture Day, a national holiday in Japan.
