Gyo-Show

「行商」は、お店を持たずに商品を売り歩くそのスタイルから、日本や世界の各地でそれぞれの地域や文化を表す洗練されたファッションの形として捉えることができる。身体を展示台に見立て、地域や参加者ならではの身近なものを身体に陳列し、ストリートを行進する。

Peddlers walk around selling their wares. This style of retail can be interpreted as a sophisticated form of fashion expressing culture and placeness, be it in Japan or anywhere around the world. Likening the body to a display stand, performers deck out their bodies with things familiar to them or somehow characteristic of the community, and then process down the streets.
