"Beautiful Girl Revolution Project"
Business Overview
The "Bishoujo Revolution" project by internationally active young composer Mukai Hibiki explores new possibilities for otome bunraku.
In this second performance, a new production of Bunraku classics was made using modern music, new Joruri by female Gidayu, lighting, images and the latest sound technology. The Porto Puppet Theater Company, which has won numerous theater awards and is invited to puppet theater festivals around the world, has been brought to Japan to create Princessa Yaegaki, a new production based on the story of Honcho Junjyushiko's "Okuniwa Kitsunebi no Dan" with a new interpretation. He then invited Tosako TAKEMOTO and Sanju TSURUSAWA to perform joruri, and collaborated with Hitomiza Otome Bunraku on an international production basis to produce 'Enlarged Oeyama Modori-bashi no Dan,' a fusion of Portuguese and Japanese puppet theater based on traditional bunraku programs, and performed the world premiere of these two plays.
