TOKIJIRO
A bilingual play from New York
The original version “Kutsukake Tokijiro” was performed in 2011 at the Flea Theater, one of New York’s iconic Off-Off-Broadway theaters. The play had a sensational three-week run, garnering rave reviews!
Building on success in New York, “TOKIJIRO” traveled to Kagoshima, Japan! Based on the original script by Shin Hasegawa (1928), “TOKIJIRO” was directed by Jun Kim, and featured music by Ryo Yoshimata, choreography by Kayoko Sakoh, and translation by Keiko Tsuneda.
The site-specific show took place at the North Pier Warehouse at the edge of Kagoshima Port, facing Sakurajima Volcano, the symbol of Kagoshima!
ニューヨーク発バイリンガル劇
2011年11月に、ニューヨークのオフ・オフ・ブロードウェイで上演され好評を博した「KUTSUKAKE TOKIJIRO」
原作は『股旅物』の生みの親として知られる長谷川 伸の代表作「沓掛時次郎」
義理と人情がテーマのガチガチの股旅物を、演出家ジュン・キムによる日本語と英語のバイリンガル芝居という斬新なアイディアで、軽妙かつ印象的なエンターテイメントに仕立て上げた。
2019年10月舞台は鹿児島。非日常の空間を創造し観客を魅了した。
New York in Kagoshimaというtasteの素晴らしい公演になった。
