Spain’s government has proposed a law to protect children from online threats that includes virtual restraining orders for felons, a higher age for opening social media accounts and health screenings for teenagers to detect related emotional disorders.
Watching grown men and women voluntarily put on voluminous, red and black cancan skirts and participate in a lively kick line onstage isn’t exactly a typical day in Japan.
In a country where public transportation is nearly silent and people rarely strike up conversations with those they don’t know, these forms of spontaneous public performance seem quintessentially “un-Japanese”. But Katana is learning how to get over the cultural hurdles, and so far it seems to be working.
Tamura says actors have learned to actively push and help the guests overcome their jitters by guiding them and taking the first step together. And people may keep coming back for more, since every storyline will reveal unique outcomes, depending on how individuals and teams decide to navigate each time.
In one attraction based on the popular video game Identity V, participants are assigned to groups of about a half-dozen and dropped into a maze; the goal is to escape before getting hunted by hungry, giant clowns. Finding safe spaces along the way and hiding from the nightmarish giants is a quick way to bond with strangers, it turns out.
Tamura says Katana is working on solving the language gap. Currently an app offers real-time translation in Chinese, English and Korean for an attraction that drops you into the story of Hansel and Gretel; making sure that guests know the app is available and expanding such translations to other parts of the park are among the next steps. On our visit, non-Japanese speakers stared blankly at images as they sought context clues for the broader plot.
“People are usually so stressed out from working or going to school that they can’t really be themselves,” says Tamura. “This park is not only changing people’s environment, but also who they can be. Just spending one day here can really get rid of that stress and energise people.”
