Overview
Shinjuku Station Rush Hour Tango', created in the 1970s, is one of Yoneyama Mamako's best known works. A scathing satire of people passing through the station in a 'pankago' - her own original form of performance combining pantomime with witty song and narrative.
The video is from the 1984 solo mime recital 'Clown's Lane', which included the following pieces: 'Tako o Ageru Kodomo' [Child Flying a Kite], 'Onna no Seicho' [Growing Woman], 'Zō no Hanashi' [Elephant Story], 'The Button War', 'Shinjuku Station Rush Hour Tango', 'Sora o Tobu Otoko' [The Flying Man] and 'Piero no Tama' [The Clown's Balls].
