"With in there where there is blood flowing even in a single tree is asleep while standing in blood."
Return to the home hero in Aomori in the movie "the countryside to Death", and begins to hear a wall clock as stunned still trapped in the mother's curse, suddenly the walls of the house falls down toward the outside. There has become Shinjuku east exit, not in Aomori. This is the last scene of "the countryside to Death", characters who the supporting cast flows out before the station of Shinjuku, people go by the walk while watching the unusual shooting scene. Was a production that would eliminate the boundary between the movie and reality. This is inspired by the last scene that has not been realized in the "Bakumatsu Taiyo Den" of Yuzo Kawashima.

In this time of "blood is asleep while standing", stage back is to the Shibuya of the city is open and Russia at the beginning. And student movement and the waving of flags Corps of social ideology that inspired the Chinese Communist Party, incoming and galloping horse racing of horses is. This is also the ritual recall to once again play space a supporting role who was washed away in the Shinjuku in the "countryside to Death." This "blood-standing" emitted its hinges again in the last, play space and the supporting role we are going to flow out into the current of Shibuya.
☆ "Death in the countryside," the last scene ☆
In the "countryside to Death" in production to fall from the inside to the outside, this is theatrical energy was the image that you want to jet toward the street corner. In contrast, "blood remains - standing" is hinged in the loosened of this time, has become the door to be opened and closed slide. Once the wall does not return to the original When you fall and slide are many times that open structure. Speaking buildings and the shooting of the limitations of that time's up to it, but the difference is evident. Structure of that open door many times removed super turn suggests that it's possible and street corners of the theater space and reality mingled turnover many times. Society and the imagination of the product of the reality is not never intersect, nor in the communion of the one-time. Mutual fellowship turnover many times, are also present at the same time separating one door. It might be one of the most different place of the current production which was separated 40 years from the premiere. Although fantasy and images are present in parallel, both miscible turnover. I by no means dualism. It might be a Ninagawa specific answer of modern.

Terayama is made to appear the terrorists in the play, it also tried to put as a metaphor of one of fantasy. Terayama is interested in is not interested in the actual "political", "Revolution", and. Nagisa Oshima while going to see the '60s security demonstration, Terayama and Masahiro Shinoda can not be interested in it, "the guy is a pig to go to the demonstration." Terayama will penetrate the "anti-leftist", without that Looking at the political season in colored glasses had seen from the absolute point of view of their own. This is what in literary activity, unlike the decisive and such temporary 60s security of revelry, and eventually would be why Terayama thought has continued given the still influence today. . .

By the way Ninagawa "Snakes and Earrings" of the director was awful.
80s from the mid-70 years Speaking of Shibuya, a downtown Unusual zenith. From 1945 to per 70s, where you aim for kimono us to Tokyo from the countryside was inevitably "Shinjuku". Currently also host and liquor trade, various desires, new business is swirling "Shinjuku" was a symbol of fortune. On the other hand, "Shibuya" of the current is also a dream to turn into a celebrity from fashion sales Rico that are representative of the 109, dream of becoming a major as the music industry and entertainers, in the city that continues to give such a dream to create a club culture some of it may be.

Such current dream of the city "Shibuya" the Ninagawa version of the play "snake and Pierce" is shooting. Beginning, the front of Shibuya Station scrambled 4-5 times with a silent camera is turning. Among them are invited to black people attract, are invited to the center area of ​​the basement of the club. Where hung a voice to Kengo Kora impersonate punk clubbers, remove the earphone. The camera can be seen that it is the line of sight of the Louis impersonate hero and Yuriko Yoshitaka.
To confirm the illusion that has led "snakes and earrings" or feel the "raw" in pain and tattoos, giving their own trauma, such as earrings, and the people in it to share with others the pain has been so to speak overused is the theme. It Ninagawa of the world advances to take to the stage the reality of the city "Shibuya".
Of course, it is not there also a political point of view also literary activity. It is like to appear in the lyrics of flimsy physician J-POP "love LOVE". Such a J-POP world view that is displayed on the Shibuya streets vision is, the most matches to that city in the world is also the one side of the "Shibuya".

Back to "~ leave blood stood."
Such "Shibuya" Bunkamura theater was wide open in the city of - Cocoon is, what kind of "Shibuya" I wonder if was trying to put lead to the reality of. Current Shibuya, not a horse race of the world nor a clearly student movement appeared on the stage. (There is currently also JRA is near there was a ceiling gallery, but there is no need not context off ,,,)
To again convened released the world in "the countryside to Death" is, it might have been just too passed since about 50 years time.

If you regarded as the genealogy of gravel and Artaud the Terayama, it should draw without having to ignore the "Shibuya" of the current with the courage, or draw the appropriate Showa culture that are representative of the draw easily 60 years security currently the do, might place break up. Human being plays fact this theater also because the audience he is alive a common time that modern.
