Japanese Fusion of Movement & Horror
Directed by Brian Rott

Tama, Tokyo Prefecture, Kamata Junior High. Life is tough for Usagi Tsukino. Tests, Phys. Ed., peer pressure, bullies, and our strange new teacher Viceroy Subato from Kyoto, who keeps staring at me in study hall, and would be kind of hot if he didn't dress so funny...Oh! There’s also saving the world. 

In Cosplay, short for costume play, participants embody characters from popular culture; anime, manga, comic books, etc. A global phenomenon, cosplay has inspired a generation to shed the shackles of their lives for brief forays into the fantastic. This fusion of dance, puppetry, and martial arts, explores contemporary costume play and the threads that form gender, identity, and culture.

"Kamikaze Cutesauce Cosplay Club...evoked the more intimate feeling of a standard off-off-Broadway production, a triumph for this Milwaukee-based company. Once the lights go down and the show starts, you quickly realize that this piece is anything but familiar." Natalie Sacks, charged.FM

"This eclectic group of talent has a synergy that makes this New Yorker wonder if maybe a slower paced city allows for this type of avant garde dynamism to fuse and meld into a weirdly, fantastic show." Jane Sato, theasy.com
