Business Overview
This play presents the oral transmission of voice and scenery. - The first person records the words as audio and sends it to the next person along with the image of the scene they were looking at. The next person receives it, records the same words in his own voice, and sends it to the next person with the new scenery. Repeating this process creates an oral alliance that passes voices and landscapes one after another. ■ Performance Flow "Fahrenheit Alliance IV" is performed one-on-one between actors and audience members, with the audience participating in the relay. First, the actor receives the voice and scenery from the person in front of him. Then the audience themselves receive voices and scenery from the actors. After the performance, the audience takes home a piece of the play and records their voice to be sent to the next person. ■ How to watch the play The audience lies down on the bed to watch the play. Images are projected on the comforter and the spectator's body and scenery are synthesized in real time. Plays: Kyle Yamada (Antigen Theater) Planning, direction, cast: Mitsuko Hirai Voice, scenery: Tamaki Kobayashi Art, video editing: Xu Wenfei Music: Mayumi Ishida Video technology: Rob Moreno (Media Studio)
