In the play, a story about an actor named Haruo Kudo is drawn. At the time of the performance, Ishimaru said, ``I put all my thoughts on the stage, the performers of ``Hirihiri to Hitori'' that could not be premiered, and the new performers of ``Hirihiri to Hitori'' who are facing the premiere. Where and to whom are you connected to me?" commented. Suzuki said, "I want to put my heart into it, cut my life down, and stretch my body to create it so that it can be delivered. Let's go," he called.

The official ticket lottery pre-sale will be held from 12:00 on April 9th ​​to the 19th.

Comment from Sachiko Ishimaru

"Hirihiri to Hitori" was a work that could not be performed because the rehearsal and performance period overlapped with the declaration of a state of emergency in 2020.

Ever since it was decided to face the premiere again in 2022, I have been thinking about the direction of the rewrite.

This is because the tingling sensation of the world, of the theater world, has been greatly overwritten.

That's it. The newly rewritten version didn't sit well with either the author or the director, and in the end it came back to its original form.

On the official website of the premiere, I wrote:

Theatre, both now and in the past, is a mirror that reflects the world.

And the world is accumulating countless individual moments that cannot be rewritten.

To draw just one person, to draw a moment, can be to draw the world, and to draw eternity. increase.

Although the performance could not be performed, the main character, Haruo Kudo, was already born, and it seemed that he was appealing not to change the past and present so easily.

One of the occupations that shines a light in this work is an actor.

How much the blessings of theater and music have supported that tingling feeling of being alive.

While thinking about the power of art that can save us from the pain that we cannot get out of by ourselves, we depict the pain and joy of one person like a secret festival, like a roaring round dance.

It's hard to live in peace now as the world situation is deteriorating at an unexpected speed.

What can we deliver to the theatergoers?

We will explore the shape, smell, taste, texture and texture of the delivery you will receive in the rehearsal.

In a way that is unique to theater, many lives come together and explore together.

Put all your thoughts on the stage, the performers of "Hirihiri to Hitori" that could not be premiered, and the new performers of "Hirihiri to Hitori" who are facing the premiere.

"I, I, I, you, where and to whom are you connected?"

Comment from Shogo Suzuki

I can finally deliver this work to everyone. In 2020, the performance was not realized due to the influence of the new coronavirus. It's been a long time since I talked to Mr. Sachiko Ishimaru about wanting to continue working with him, and asked Mr. Nakamura of Toei if he would be interested in working with me. Finally.

(Ishimaru) Sachiko is a really sensitive, passionate and loving person who puts her heart and soul into creating works. She admires the words she spins and the way she creates her work, and it is an honor and happiness to be able to create her work together.

A story about a young man who has feelings about the gap between himself and the world. But I think everyone has it in their hearts. I want to put it in words, I want to explode my body, I want to deliver my heart, I really want to convey it... Each person has their own way of doing that, but I'm sure it doesn't go as planned, and I'm the same. . That's why theater and theater are my salvation. And we can deliver it to you.

I would like to put my heart and soul into creating this so that I can deliver it with my body.

Carefully, cherishly, grow vigorously.

I'm really looking forward to it too.

See you at the theater.
