FY26 Term I Creation Grant [Single-Year Grant Program]
Business Overview
A new performance that shows the process of meeting, rebelling, merging, and eventually reaching cosmic catharsis. Behind this theme, there is a suggestion that "How will humanity overcome war?". Differences between different principles or differences in religious views are, in a sense, wars led by men. In order to overcome this, it is necessary to "overcome the war of sensibilities" by mutually acknowledging "small differences in sensibilities." These six female dancers, Ikuyo Kuroda, Naoko Shirakawa, Maki Morishita, Naoka Uemura, Misako Terada and Setsuko Yamada, each have their own opinions. While each of them is asserting their own sensibilities, "cosmic sensibilities beyond human beings" and "cosmic sensations" that connect with each other cover the entire work. Composition, direction, choreography, and cast: Kei Kasai Performers: Ikuyo Kuroda, Naoko Shirakawa, Maki Morishita, Misako Terada, Naoka Uemura, Setsuko Yamada Stage director: Eiji Toragawa Lighting: Yasushi Morishita (Lightship) Music: Hiroo Tsunoda Sound technology: Hiromasa Ozaki Costume: Midori Hagino Production: Highwood Producer: Hisako Kasai
