FY26 Phase II Creation Grant [Single-year grant program]
Business Overview
"Anton, cat, chestnut." which premiered in 2009, is a story about Anton, a Nora cat, and the interactions between his neighbors around the cat, and captures everyday life in Japan within a 50 meter radius. In 2010, he collaborated with musician Yasuno Taro to remake the script as a "polyphony play" with musical score. This is an experimental work that captures the words spoken by the actors as music and creates scenes by sampling them. In addition, English subtitles were created in accordance with the concept, creating rhythmic programs. Along with the performance, there will be talks with local artists and a WS using the production method.
