The Limits of Acting
When a woman in a close-knit acting group suddenly takes her own life, the remaining members struggle to put together the pieces and understand her motivations. For Kubo, the scriptwriter for this group, the suicide triggers a chain of contemplation about his past, making him question his actions, his principles, and his relationships. Can Kubo learn from the failures of others and atone for his own sins before it is too late?
Nominated for the prestigious Akutagawa award, “The Limits of Acting” is a thought-provoking piece by author Masao Yamakawa (a forerunner of modern Japanese literature) that probes the depths of what it means to love another person, while also posing questions about human loneliness, existence, and interpersonal boundaries.
