V'03

Legend has it that Terayama and the members of his theatre troupe flew to Europe in the summer of 1971 on one-way tickets. They performed «Jashûmon» (Heresy) at the Festival de Nancy to great acclaim in April and were there recruited to Holland by Ritsaert ten Cate to perform at his Mickery Theater in June. Ten Cate made arrangements for them to enter another theater festival in Belgrade where they won the top prize in September. By then they were out of cash, but his friend Hiroko Govaers in Paris helped Terayama enter his 35mm <i>Sho o suteyo, machi e deyô</i> which he had brought from Japan, into the San Remo film festival in October. He won the Grand Prix and received the award in cash, handed to him in a huge bundle wrapped in newspaper. It was with that money that he was able to buy tickets back to Tôkyô in the fall to cap off the adventure.
