Yen Town Space in Inujima (2016)

Directed by Shunji Iwai

“Creating a place to meet new sound spirits”

Music, Documentary · 2h 05m

Swallowtail Butterfly 20th Anniversary concert at Inujima Seirensho Museum as part of Setouchi Triennale 2016. At the former power plant of the Inujima Seirensho Art Museum, a site designated as a Modern Industrial Heritage, the fictional city of “YEN TOWN” from the film Swallowtail is recreated. Beginning with Swallowtail, moving through All About Lily Chou-Chou, and, on another trajectory, through the September 11 terrorist attacks and the Great East Japan Earthquake of March 11, this work traces the paths of these events to the present day. Produced by Takeshi Kobayashi, the project is a two-hour concert suite, performed together with a diverse group of musicians, including Chara (YEN TOWN BAND) and Salyu.
