The end does not end

20 October 2015 at Theater X, Tokyo

Ghosts are singing about 20th century of hunting and nomadic people. That tribe has lived in Siberia, along right side of Argun River. They call themselves “Evenki”.

Other Ghosts who lost their lives at Sonezaki River are walking along rivers. Can they arrive at the sea? Or can they not arrive at anywhere? This plot is based on Japanese traditional Ningyo joruri play Shinju Ten-no-amijima. It is a famous story of a lovers’ suicide that was written by Chikamatsu Monzaemon in the Edo period.

This fictitious Northeast Asia folk-opera directed and composed by Jun Kawasaki was realized by singer, dancers, actors, and Japanese traditional puppet operator.

“Be counter to songs, but to songs”. It is a maxim that was left by Japanese poet Tozaburo Ono. The verbal activity begins with conflict with impossibility of making songs. This is a reactionary route to opera.
