Theater Reviews + Features | Pittsburgh City Paper: Modern office life has been a source of humor and consternation for decades, featured in everything from novels like Sloan Wilson's The Man in the Gray Flannel Suit and Joseph Heller's Something Happened to TV series like The Office and the comic strip Dilbert. Award-winning Japanese writer-director Toshiki Okada gives us his take on the subject in the movement-theater work Hot Pepper, Air Conditioner, and the Farewell Speech. The show is presented Sept. 28 and 29 by the Kelly-Strayhorn Theater.

The office work place is a common setting and subject in the American media it would be interesting how someone from a different culture feels about it. What clichés do they have and how are they different from our own and how are they the same. It is also interesting to think about the connection between text and movement that Toshiki Okada proposed. I would love to hear a commentary on this show about why he chose the different movements and what they meant to him
