Telephone Of The Wind

À propos

The first Telephone of the Wind (風の電話) was created by the Japanese artist Itaru Sasaki, in 2010, in response to the death of his cousin from cancer. Sasaki purchased a derelict phone booth, installed a disconnected rotary phone, and set it up in his garden. In 2011, after a tsunami in Japan left over 15,000 dead and over 2,500 missing, Sasaki relocated the phone booth to a hill near the town of Otsuchi: the place with the highest number of recorded missing persons. It has become a place where people from Otsuchi, Japan, and all over the world can come to “call” people they have lost.

Over the years, different people and organizations have created new Wind Phones in many different locations around the globe.

During the festival, Talk is Free Theatre invites you to find the Wind Phone we’ve installed in a solitary corner of Memorial Square, and make a call to a lost loved one.
