In this site-specific performance we watch characters that experience love with the logic dictated by market forces. Matsumoto is young, poor and in love with Sawako, but chooses his boss’s daughter. Nukui wants to become as close as possible to Haruna, a pop heroin who helps her to become a better version of herself. Hiro leaves messages on the answering machine of Ryoko, a girl he got to know sitting on the bench next to the ATM. They are all waiting in the shopping centre until their sky-high expectations are satisfied. But what if love becomes stronger than the law of supply and demand? What if love is no longer a comparative assessment, but instead demands sacrifice? What if there are no more choices left?

The actors relate stories that are based on the film Dolls by Takeshi Kitano. Japan evokes images of unbridled consumerism, but also of views on love in which luck is inevitably connected with far-reaching self-sacrifice and spirituality. You will hear trenchant dialogues, mixed with cinematic fragments of a rock opera and pop musical that were especially composed for this performance by Remco de Jong. You enter into the characters’ realm of thoughts. Shopping will never be the same – and neither will love.
