Leap Year

It was in 2016 that I saw Kentaro Kobayashi's outstanding miming solo on the spotlit stage at Iwaki Performing Arts Center. The performer was running there as if he was really trying to catch up with his alter ego. Even though my seat was located a little bit far from the stage, it never bothered me. He was running while going nowhere, and so it felt like the time was beginning to stream backward to leave him there forever. The show was titled Leap Year, and it would have been performed this year again if the world had not drastically changed like this.
