Hikikomori

The performance, named after the Japanese term hikikomori which literally means "to stand apart," represents the choice of those who choose to isolate themselves from the world around them by locking themselves in their rooms. A chosen solitude that is shared from other peers. What are the stages? What are the causes? What are the remedies? Let's open this room and enter it. Do they deserve our blame or our understanding?
