A new Greek tragedy that no one has seen before
Following “Oedipus REXXX” and “Greeks”,
The final chapter of Kunio Sugihara's Greek tragedy series.
Depicting the journey of his two young men,
A thrilling and epic “road movie” play is now being created!

Kunio Sugihara, a top young director, has released a number of popular works commissioned by KAAT artistic director Akira Shirai, starting with Roots (screenplay: Shu Matsui) in 2016, and in particular, from 2018 onwards, he has started staging Greek tragedies. I have been working on it bravely. In 2018, ``Oedipus REXXX'' (Oedipus Rex) attracted attention for its performance, which followed the style of Greek tragedy at the time, with three main actors playing eight roles other than the colossus. In addition, with a number of innovative ideas such as converting Koros songs into rap, the story of distant Greece was vividly brought back to life before our eyes in modern times, and its production ability was highly praised. Subsequently, in 2019, he took on the challenge of producing the 10-hour masterpiece "Greeks," which depicts a magnificent picture scroll of 17 years of human love and hate surrounding the Trojan War in a speedy and stylish manner, and is an outstanding work that will not let you get bored even for a moment. The performance received praise.

In 2020, Sugihara will take on a new challenge as the final installment of the Greek tragedy series. Agamemnon was the commander-in-chief of the Greek army during the Trojan War, which is the main focus of the story in Greek. Orestes, the son of Orestes, receives the trust of Apollo, the sun god, and with the help of his sister Electra and his cousin and best friend Pylades, creates a ``lost'' (non-existent) story about the murder of his mother.

Kunio Sugihara x Misaki Setoyama, the first team-up of two leaders of the 1920s
The person who commissioned this ambitious adaptation of the Greek tragedy was Misaki Setoyama, a playwright and director whose next work is currently the most anticipated. Accepting Sugihara's desire to create a new work centering on the two characters Orestes and Pylades, he said, ``I want to think about the 'blank time' between Orestes and Pylades.I have taken on the grand challenge of writing a new Greek tragedy. I want to do it," he says with enthusiasm.

Young up-and-coming stars Jin Suzuki and Tatsuomi Hamada, the ever-changing Shuri Gitan Otsuru,
A splendid “road movie” play by 10 unique Koros
The performers include two young up-and-coming stars: Jin Suzuki, who has been active in films, will play Orestes, and Tatsuomi Hamada, who has been active in films since he was a child actor and recently attracted attention for Koki Mitani's "Daichi", will play Pylades. I will perform. Shuri, who shines even more brilliantly on stage and in film, and Gitan Otsuru, who is active not only as an actor but also as a screenwriter and director, each play multiple roles to portray the people the two meet on their journey. The chorus, which is indispensable for Greek tragedy, includes Junko Uchida, Emi Takayama, Shotaro Okubo, Ryo Amamiya, Seiji Toyama, who have participated in Sugihara's works and who can be said to be Aun's breath, and Satsuki Nakagami, who was selected by audition.・Maki Maehara, Maika Kawatobi, Sanshiro Inomata, and Takashi Takei, who is also active at TC Alp - 10 people from a wide range of generations and backgrounds, full of individuality, gathered together.
