We received comments from the planners, Nobuhiro Sasaura and Shoko Kawada!
From Nobuhiro Sasaura
Just like last year, with the great cooperation of Kanagawa Prefecture, we were able to perform at the wonderful venue of the Kanagawa Prefectural Office. I'm really happy.
The audience seats are covered in red carpet. In the center is a huge chandelier that makes its presence felt. Such a luxurious set is prepared in advance. What kind of chemical reaction will occur between a truly luxurious environment and the works of us theater artists?
I'm also a producer and a director of my own organization, ``Mojamoja Head and Hera Hera Megane,'' so I'm thinking of making the most of this space to put on a production this year as well. The works we will perform are the three-person play ``Boy of Dawn'' and the new short musical ``Ukiyo Hotel,'' both of which were created with the intention of performing in this space. ``Boys of Dawn'' will be performed by 3 talented young actors, and ``Ukiyo Hotel'' will be performed by 10 people, mainly veterans of the Shiki Theater Company, and we are looking forward to seeing you.
In addition, the groups invited as guests this year are all talented. Yokohama is the closest regional city to Tokyo. I would like everyone to see some of the theater scenes that take place there. I think this is a great opportunity for people who have never seen a play to experience theater. Although the number of performances is small, we hope that everyone will come and see it.
From Shoko Kawada
Last year, we performed ``The Boy of Dawn,'' a three-person play depicting a night in the life of Yoshiro Obi, who designed the main prefectural office building. Due to the favorable reception, we have decided to hold the performance again this year. This year, we would like to deliver even more refined content.
We will also perform new works. This is a night for men and women modeled after the Ukiyo Hotel, a dance hall that existed in Yokohama in the early Showa era. It's a short musical, so let's dance! sing! Please enjoy a luxurious spring moment.
