Background

“Extreme Situation Comedy (kcal): Sweat just got in my eyes” (Ase ga me ni haitta dake) is a high-energy theatrical production written and directed by Tomu Tomisaka, known for his mastery of the “logical yet absurd” comedic style. The story follows Yumiko Morii (played by legendary actress Honami Suzuki), a woman who passes away just before her 60th birthday and finds herself watching her own wake as a ghost. The comedy arises from the “extreme” conflict between her children, who descend into a heated battle over whether her funeral should be a Christian or Buddhist ceremony, all while Yumiko watches helplessly from the sidelines.

The title’s “(kcal)” refers to a unique “calorie-consumption” gimmick where the physical and emotional intensity of the actors is tracked, emphasizing the frantic, fast-paced nature of the performance. Featuring a diverse cast—including Rika Adachi, Yūki Ogoe, and former Takarazuka star Tomu Ranju—the play blends the somber setting of a funeral with the relentless energy of a situational farce. Its significance lies in its ability to find profound humor in grief, exploring family bonds through a series of increasingly ridiculous arguments that keep the audience laughing until the final curtain.
