FUKAIPRODUCEhagoromo 20th performance of “Itoiiland”

[Outline]
This offbeat musical (“myosical”) puts a spotlight on small-scale “living” drama existing freely beyond time and place. A couple traveling by camper van come to health spa “Itoiiland” where, in the absence of King Itoi, his seven wives are boasting to each other about their lovers. Set mainly in the imaginary, titular kingdom of “Itoiiland,” scenes shift freely from a universe where the Moon feels unrequited love for the Earth, to geckos and lizards in the corner of a room. From a sleepless woman gazing at the sky next to her lover who has fallen asleep, and the housewives and the store manager who work at the health spa, to a spider and a crow, and a deep sea fish couple, the work flits back and forth between commonplace landscapes and unreal worlds in its depiction of various forms of love, with a worldview presaging the end.
