[Ticket Present] “Spiral Staircase” is now available at Magcal Theater!

【チケットプレゼント】マグカルシアターに『螺旋階段』が登場!

Magcal Theater provides a place where people can freely present and disseminate information related to performing arts such as drama, dance, and music, with the aim of nurturing cultural and artistic talent.
On July 21st (Saturday) and 22nd (Sunday), the Odawara-based theater production “Spiral Staircase” will appear!
This time, with less than a month until the actual performance, we sneak into the rehearsal hall where excitement and tension are mixed. We conducted an interview with Shinichiro Midori, who wrote and directed the film, and talked about the highlights of the new work.

We also have a ticket giveaway, so please read to the end!

What led you to start the theater production “Spiral Staircase”?

The first time I stepped into the world of theater was with a theater company called ``Mystery.'' Unfortunately, my activities were suspended, but I didn't want to leave theater at that point. So, four of my friends and I started the theater production ``Spiral Staircase.'' This year marks the 12th year.
Basically, I am in charge of writing and directing all the works. Everyone except me has a proper job (lol) so we practice once or twice a week. Even so, new works are performed twice every year.

How many members are there?

"Spiral Staircase" currently has 12 to 3 members registered. However, not everyone will appear every time. At each performance, I write the script based on the lineup of members who raise their hands.
There are usually no auditions. This time, a total of eight people will be on stage, including four regular members and four guest performers from other theater companies, but to be extreme, it doesn't matter if they have no experience at all. I write the script to suit the person (lol).

Is there a color for the theater company?

I like plays from all different genres, so I don't have a particular preference, but if I had to say, it would be ``stories that make you laugh, cry, and leave a lasting impression in your heart .'' I have decided on a theme for each show, so I try to create a stage that conveys that theme to the audience.

What does the title "Kisikan Mishikan" mean?

Sometimes the title is drawn from the story, and sometimes it is decided based on the image in mind. This time it's the latter. I decided on the sound of the words.
Written in kanji, it means "déjà vu". It is a combination of déjà vu and its antonym.
A sense of ``déjà vu'' is when you feel like you know the road even though it's the first time you've taken it, and a sense of ``unvisu'' is when you suddenly feel like you don't know the road even though it's the same road you've always been on. I tried to draw a slightly mysterious world that resembles science fiction.
As the scenes are filled with interesting and incomprehensible scenes, they all connect in the end, and a certain world comes into view. That's the story.

Please give a message to everyone watching Magcal.

I would like our customers who are saying ``Nice to meet you'' to come and see it. It's different from a straight play, so I'd be happy if you could think, ``There are people writing such unusual stories.''
It may be a bit boring at first, but as the story progresses, various things become connected, and the process is interesting. I'm aiming for a stage where at the end, you'll fall in love and say, ``Oh, that's what happened.''
I would like young people, including high school students, to watch it. I want people to know that ``acting can be so freeing.''

[Story]

Shohei Fujii is a man who lived his daily life as an office worker. Every day, on rainy days, it felt like I was walking home for the first time.
An older woman, Tajima, suddenly spoke to me. "nice to meet you".
Fujii steps into an unknown world with a premonition that his usual daily life will change dramatically.
We live in a world that we shouldn't know, but we know, and we should know, but don't.
"Nice to meet you, do you remember?" A story about finding the answer to that question.
