Shakespearean productions in 'Asia' and 'Japan'

在这个项目中，我研究了从2000年到2013年在日本舞台上表演的莎士比亚翻译和改编的广泛材料。这包括对日本新兴剧作家和导演的采访，如中树纪仁和柳原美邦。通过重读在非英语国家制作的莎士比亚作品，重新定义“亚洲”和“日本”的各种含义，我试图从东方的角度“重新定位”以西方为中心的莎士比亚作品。

In this project, I researched a wide range of material on Shakespearean translatons and adapataions peformed on Japanese stages from the year 2000 until 2013. This included interviews with Japanese emerging playwrights and directors, such as Norihito Nakayashiki and Mikuni Yanaihara.By re-reading Shakeseparean productions made in non-English speaking spheres and re-defining the various meanings of 'Asia' and 'Japan', I tried to 're-orient' the west-centred Shakespearean prudtions from eastern viewpoints.
