"Pupa"

room.Onaya Rion, who was selected for the first time in the physical category, announces a new work

Starting with vol.15, which marks a milestone for "Theatre Tram Next Generation," we have divided the genres into "theatrical" and "physical," and have begun accepting applications every other year.After the renewal, room.Onaya Rion was selected as the first artist in the physical category.
Onnaya began classical ballet at the age of three, and began her path to contemporary dance after meeting Pina Bausch.While enrolled in the dance education course at Ochanomizu University, she researched artists focusing on Pina Bausch, while participating in works by choreographers such as Kenshi Nomi, Hiroaki Umeda, and Saori Hara.At the same time, she began creating her own works, winning the Yokohama Dance Collection Best New Choreographer Award for ``I'm not a liar.'' (3).She is currently working as a DaBY resident artist, and is attracting attention as one of the young people who will lead contemporary dance in Reiwa.

Onaya Rion incorporates many theatrical elements and conveys a unique sensibility and strong core.
The motif of the new work is “insects”

-I feel like I've met you somewhere before, and somehow, maybe we were one.-

The motif of this work is "insects".With the title ``Pupa,'' which means pupa, we present new works that focus on ``inner sensations'' and ``circulation of memory.''Please take a look at the new dance performance created by Onnaya, who has a reputation for creating works that incorporate many theatrical elements and are sprinkled with her own unique sensibilities.

When my university graduation performance was canceled three years ago, I realized that I cannot take for granted that the stage curtain will open safely.
I am truly happy to be able to celebrate the first day and to be able to move on to the next episode.
We look forward to watching the work evolve further as it catches the attention of the audience, and we will run through the entire process.

Rion Onnaya (choreography, direction, performance)

Through practice, I began to look at the ``inner senses'' that are unique to humans, and I think that the ideas I had gotten from insects came to me as being incredibly human.It would be great if everyone could share their own experiences by overlapping the scenes created by humans on stage with something of their own.Please come and see us at the theater.

Aokid (actor)

At the beginning of this year, I performed my work on the same stage as Onnaya-san, and I was approached and decided to appear on the stage.The styles at that time were completely different.This work is the first work of an artist who is just beginning his career, and while he has an image that he has gradually cultivated within himself, on the other hand, there are players who have gathered from outside, and he immediately tried to incorporate those outsiders in the rehearsal room. The woman looking at it. (I get the feeling that she actively values ​​inspiration other than dance)

Please come and see what kind of balance it will be delivered to the theater.

Butterfly larvae lose their shape once inside the pupa to emerge.I feel that destruction for the sake of creation is a healthy form of human activity.In modern times, technology allows us to produce large quantities of products of the same quality, and systems have been created to allow us to consume them, and we are losing opportunities for energy circulation.Through my work, I would like to explore the circulation of energy using the body, or the possibility of organically connecting with others.I would be happy if we could take the time to explore together how we can share that with the audience.
