Tokyo Rain
Step into the neon-lit dreamscape of Tokyo Rain, a bold reimagining and deconstruction of Mary Eggleston & Nycole Prowse’s narrative screenplay.
For Horizon 2025, writer and performance artist Mary Eggleston joins forces with multimedia artist Möbius to dismantle and rebuild the story anew – melding past, present, and future in a multi-sensory journey.
Blurring the lines between cinema, theatre, and installation, Tokyo Rain immerses audiences in a world of projection, sound, 3D sculptures, and retro digital experimentation. Wander the streets of 1980s Tokyo, where every step reveals fragments of a young traveller's journey – lost, found, and forever changed.
