Playwright and director Oriza Hirata and composer Kaito Nakahori will work on their second theater opera. With the themes of the universe and imagery, the latest 3D audio technology will be used to create a multidimensional space in which Hirata’s contemporary colloquial theater and Nakahori’s contemporary music arias featuring vocalise (singing technique using vowel sounds or nonsense syllables) alternate. The work is a result of exploration to realize an ultimate art work where elements of contemporary theater, music, and art interact.
It will tour to Setouchi Triennale 2025 and Mito International Music Festival in 2025.
