“Suddenly Delay, After Shockwave Delay Vol.1” is the first sequel to the theater performance “Shockwave Delay” presented at the Ellen Stewart Theatre at LaMaMa in June 2023, followed by five more sequels which will keep happening  through 2024. The confidential protocol is a composition created and designed by Yoshiko Chuma. This performance is based on twenty chapters that cross over within the frame of two and half hours. Musicians, dancers and designers interact, but not directly—a parallel to incidents of sound, text and action, a metaphor for endless continuous circles of life, fluctuating between utopia and war. While observing, the audience perceives the results of war—tipping utopia. A utopia is an imagined community of society that possesses highly desirable or nearly perfect qualities for its citizens. One could also say that utopia is a perfect “place” that has been designed so there are no problems.
