"Vain Resistance"

Someone says, stop your futile resistance.
Trying to crush my feelings
Don't stop resisting.It's not decided that it's useless yet.

The theme of Tomohiro Maekawa x Setagaya Public Theater's XNUMXth tag team is "fate" and "free will", which are also major themes of Greek tragedy.
“It always feels like destiny, after everything was over, and I had the freedom to not know.”
What is "fate"? What is "freedom"?

Overview

Tomohiro Maekawa and Setagaya Public Theater team up for the first new performance in four years

The relationship between invisible things and humans, the ordinary and the extraordinary, the present and the future and the past...
As the head of the theater company Ikiume, he has created a mysterious world that is connected to the everyday life by freely depicting various spaces and times from a creative perspective.Tomohiro Maekawa.
Maekawa and the Setagaya Public Theater teamed up for the first time in 2009 for "Kikkai-Hearing from Yakumo Koizumi" (XNUMX).From there, "Contemporary Nohgaku Vol. VI Strange XNUMX" inspired by Noh and Kyogen, "Tono Monogatari Strange XNUMX" based on Kunio Yanagita's story, and the ancient Greek epic "Odyssey". We have performed new works based on various themes such as the original "Endless".
For the first time in four years, we will be teaming up to present a new work about "fate" and "free will."

 

A diverse cast

We have an attractive cast for the show.Appeared in many Maekawa works such as Ikiume performances, demonstrating a unique presenceIketani nobue,
It will be the first appearance in Maekawa's work in 2018 years since 5's "GeGeGe no Teacher".Yasuko Matsuyuki,
In addition to the Ikiume performance, it will be a continuous appearance from "Endless"Hazuki Shimizu.
Also, this time will be the first appearance of Maekawa's workKeisuke Watanabe,Moeka Hoshi.
And the actor of the theater company "Ikiume", which is indispensable for Maekawa's works, embodying the unrealistic world with realistic acting,Junpei Yasui,Shinya Hamada,Ryuji Mori,So Morishita,Hitoe Okubostiffens the sides.

 

Fate and Free Will

In 2019, "Endless" challenged a new scale story based on the ancient Greek epic Homer's "Odyssey".In this work, the main theme of the Greek tragedy represented by Sophocles' "Oedipus the King" is "fate". draw us

Comments from the director and performers

Tomohiro Maekawa (Production/Direction)

I think it's attractive to be able to create a work with the Setagaya Public Theater from a slightly different point of view than the original work at the theater company.Continuing from last time, "Endless", this time, Greece is the starting point, and we will draw the major theme of Greek drama, "fate".
The stage is modern, and it begins with our daily lives.For example, it is a choice that greatly affects life, how to deal with things that are out of your control, and how free will and destiny conflict with what everyone experiences in life. I wish I could.

 

Iketani nobue

About fate... For me, fate has chosen to surrender as much as possible.However, that interpretation may also be because I feel it would be easier to blame it on something called "fate," which I don't know what is controlling me.If thinking about the possibility of another fate is already built into fate, then the time spent thinking about it is frustrating... and even the time spent thinking about it is said to be fate. from.
I feel a quiet groan of trying to challenge something huge that I can't compete with everyone in the group that I can trust.I'm looking forward to what kind of fate it will be, whether it's a futile resistance.

 

Keisuke Watanabe

I am delighted to be able to participate in Tomohiro Maekawa's work and to be able to stand on the stage of the Setagaya Public Theater again.
About destiny, the present and the freedom, all the possibilities, everything will be like this, these words alone make my heart dance.
I am already excited about what kind of work I can create.I would like to spend time polishing it so that I can share my thoughts with those who came to see it.

 

Yasuko Matsuyuki

I am delighted to be involved in a new creation under Mr. Maekawa.I would like to carefully build up the world that will stand up from now on.Useless resistance... I would like to create while enjoying what kind of world it will be.

OUR STORY

Someone says, stop your futile resistance.
Trying to crush my feelings
Don't stop resisting.It's not decided that it's useless yet.

About fate.
The future is full of possibilities and looks like a lot of options.
But when I look back on my life, it's just a winding road.
The turbulent “present” knocks down the possibilities, solidifies them, and makes them unmovable.
There is no what-if.Waste of time just thinking about it.
The “present” pushes my back and I look forward.
There is no right or wrong choice.Everything may have been decided.
futile resistance. Is there no freedom for "I"?

In the Greek tragedy "Oedipus the King"
Oedipus who acted to escape from the ominous prophecy, therefore fulfills the prophecy.
By the time you realize it, it's too late.It was all destined to be like this.
Was Oedipus free?

It always feels like destiny, after everything was over, there was also a freedom I didn't know.

This is how it all goes.
