MANSAI ◎ Kaitai Shinsho Part XNUMX "Earth ~ Perception of Grace and Gravity ~"

Masashi Miura/Isshin Inudo/Seiko Ito

What is Kaitai Shinsho?
In this series, the various fields and elements that make up the world of contemporary art are broken down into parts, and the origins and foundations of each are questioned.With the aim of creating a new "Japanese theater" and laying the foundations of the theater, we invite a wide variety of guests each time to make full use of each other's fields of expertise to explore the common and indispensable thing = the "essence of expression." It's a plan.We are thinking of a flexible performance that will change the style each time depending on the content, making a clear distinction from ordinary performances.Mansai Nomura will act as the host of the stage progress, and will unfold a <talk & performance> with the guest artists.We aim to convey the essence of performing arts to audiences who want to enjoy performing arts more deeply than just watching and enjoying them.

◎ This time, titled "Special Edition", it will be a three-day period in which Mansai Nomura himself will be "deconstructed".
We will invite a variety of guests with the theme of each day as "Dance", "Film" and "Entertainment".
In addition to talks with guests, we will dance “MANSAI Bolero” unique to “Kaitai Shinsho” every time.
