(1) Out of Tokyo
=================================================================

Volume 038: Ballett Frankfurt in Danger!

This time I was originally planning to write about the fabulous 
performances of "Kitchen
Katha" and a certain exhibition that was held in Tokyo, but I suddenly 
changed my plans,
and even the time schedule for this volume of my column. What led me to 
this decision
is the fact that the existence of William Forsythe's "Ballett Frankfurt" is 
presently on the
verge of being closed down. The city of Frankfurt is considering to let the 
contract run
out in 2004.

*additional note:
a press release in German and English summarizing a meeting between William
Forsythe and Frankfurt city officials, that was held on June 3, can be 
found on the
official web site of Ballett Frankfurt.

(3) Tokyo Culture Diary
=================================================================

Sugatsuke Masanobu on his last days in Paris:

After beginning the day slowly, the Kenzo show starts at 1pm. The 
collection is done
by young designer Gilles Rosier, but it's lacking any punch. The next one 
is Cosmic
Wonder, and the shows of this Osaka-based team, who are presenting their 
creations
now even here in Paris, are getting better each time. The motif of this 
time's collection
is 'curtains,' and the models are standing still in upright position just 
like dummies.

(4) Event Pick of the Week
=================================================================

Le Passager (The Traveller)

The reviews you find on our 'Cinema' page are usually contributed by 
writers after
watching a preview screening. "Le Passager (The Traveller)," however, is a 
film I
haven't seen, but since this is director Abbas Kiarostami's debut feature 
film, it's safe
to recommend. The protagonist of this movie is a ten-year-old boy who loves 
soccer,
and travels to Teheran to see a match after stealing money from his parents 
and telling
his teacher lies. Just by reading the synopsis one can guess that this film 
probably
contains much of the essence of the later Kiarostami. "Le Passager" is 
shown only
twice as part of a 'soccer in movies' special, and I really recommend to 
catch it in
between the world cup matches.
