Sakurako Ohara "Honestly, I'm still hesitating..." Taking on the role of twins with polar opposite personalities

Written By notebooktabletphone

When I first read the play, I was confused because I couldn't see the axis of the story at all. However, when I started practicing, it seems that it was different from what I thought... To be honest, I'm still at a loss. Right now, I'm stuck in a pitch-black room and can't find the exit."

At first, it was said that the contrast between the two was clearly portrayed, but the director, Shuntaro Fujita, said, "It's okay to be a more ordinary Sakurako Ohara."

"What does that mean?" One thing I'm thinking about is that an actress who doesn't think about difficult things and uses her whole body's energy to act out things that can't be explained in words will be a comedy."

The situation in which the twins, who are completely opposite in terms of way of thinking, way of life, and personality, changes greatly due to changes in society and values ​​​​with the passage of time, and their lives take an unexpected direction.

“Both of them were talking about red until a little while ago, but the next moment they were talking about blue. It says "acting in a state of constant excitement due to the influence of hormones." is an ordinary person, but not ordinary, and the more each person progresses toward their own ideals, the more they lose sight of their surroundings. It's getting involved and it's serious, but the people living in it are just desperate, and that may be funny."

The words she speaks are of hesitation and worries, but she has played complex roles such as a girl who comes out as a lesbian and a wife who incites her husband to commit regicide in order to get ahead. . In both roles, instead of making excuses with easy-to-understand anguish, they acted as if they were immersed in their own determination, including resignation to their fate. If you look at that graceful figure, you will be convinced that you can pull off this role.

"I don't know myself, but when I'm doing a play, I feel like my true self comes out.In life, there are real feelings that you can't say even if you think about it. Whether I'm playing or watching, I feel like it's being scooped out and purified, and that's probably what I like about it."

The co-stars are Kyoko Koizumi and Tomohito Yashima, two talented people with a sense of humor.

"This time, I'm playing from the ages of 17 to 51, and those who see this story will be able to get a glimpse of the shame they've had in their lives and the things they want to hide. But I hope you will laugh at me."
