Vacant Lot
“Vacant Lot is a tender, funny and deeply human meditation on memory, love and the quiet beauty of ordinary life set beneath the glow of a moonlit sky.”
In Hiromoto Ida’s new stage production Vacant Lot, an elderly married couple contemplate the ground where their family home used to stand many years before. After their children grew up, the couple moved to a condominium. Now they have returned to find all that is left of the house are a few remnants in the ground: a sink, a toilet bowl, some toys, a window frame. The couple’s conversation, as they stand there in the dark with a bright moon overhead, evokes powerful memories and raises big questions.
