Bioroid: Year Zero (バイオロイド零年 Baioroido zeronen?), otherwise known as BIOROID ZERO-NEN, is a Japanese stage play based on the Resident Evil franchise. A musical horror-comedy focusing on the zombified civilians' point-of-view, the play was performed by the Super Eccentric Theater ("SET") in a number of locations around Japan in the summer of 2000.[1]

Plot[]

Bioroid scene

A scene from the play

A biohazard has engulfed Raccoon City, turning the citizens there into ferocious Zombies. A similar outbreak also takes place in BioCity (バイオシティ), a top-secret research community, and is dealt with by the military who seal the outpost. In the nine years following this incident, the Zombie residents have begun climbing out of the ruins.

A video journalist, Yoppaparatchi, arrives at the scene to investigate sightings of Zombies so long after the initial outbreak. As he interviews members of the BioCity Police Department, Anariaza and Barozu, they are attacked by the zombies. Yoppaparatchi escapes into the woods, where he finds a girl who is able to teach zombies how to speak, and who was responsible for the initial accident as a child when breaking a beaker while playing in the lab
