The Secret Life Of Japan's Homely Hermits

FLICKING on a TV in Japan can be a disturbing experience. But the endless game shows, sensationalist news and samurai dramas reflect a cultural curse passed down the generations, where complex issues are seldom discussed and people are required to manage their personal problems without support. The Attic is being staged by NIDA as part of the Australia-Japan Year of Exchange, 2006. The Attic is at NIDA's Parade Studio from March 10-18.
