Issue 12 of the Underground Theater Quarterly, "Body Language" special.
Underground Theater Quarterly was a seminal journal of the 1970s Japanese avant-garde, serving as both a platform for experimental scripts and a forum for radical theater theory, closely tied to Shūji Terayama’s Tenjō Sajiki troupe and the broader underground movement.
