Even so, there can be surprises, usually not welcome ones. The Japan Society, which has long imported experimental Japanese performance, ran into a hitch with “Hamlet/Toilet,” an absurdist, pop culture-inflected work from the playwright and director Yu Murai and Theater Company Kaimaku Pennant Race. As the work is based in part on Shakespeare’s “Hamlet,” Yoko Shioya, the Japan Society’s artistic director, had to argue what made this work culturally unique to Japan. Asked by the consular official to submit further evidence, she focused on the production’s toilets. (Murai is also the author of “Romeo & Toilet.” Toilets are a recurring motif.)

“Everybody who first goes to Japan, their jaws drop at the toilets,” she said. The official approved the application.

Yu Murai, founder of the Theater Company Kaimaku Pennant Race, cleverly retells Macbeth through the 1960s mega-hit manga Ashita no Joe. These performances will provide an immersive audience experience —a boxing ring will be created on the stage of the auditorium, and audience members will be seated around it behind ropes. Prior to the show, concessions will be sold. The space will be transformed into an all-out sporting event featuring the contender Macbeth!
