Hakuchumu’s stage play “Sazareisión” will be performed from Thursday, July 4 to Sunday, July 7 at Musashino Performing Arts Theatre Small Hall in Tokyo.
The leader of Hakuchumu, Raiu Ishizaka, launched the company in 2010 while still a student at Nihon University College of Art. It is characterized by allegorical tales that tell aspects of contemporary Japan using folktales and yokai tales as motifs, and by performances that resemble “festivals” that use dynamism and heat.
This is the first performance in five years, and is based on the ancient Japanese “Tales of interspecies marriage” in which a person and a stone are united under the theme of “sense of value. Written by Kou Yoneyama and directed by Raiu Ishizaka, the cast includes Daichi Urata, Konomi Otake (Zeitaku Binbo), Souya Ogata(libido:),Yuki Sato, Masaaki Shinohara(Nakago), and Risa Tsuruta(Hakuchumu).
