Holland Festival: Ribingurumu no Metamorufuoshisu - Toshiki Okada, Dai Fujikura, Klangforum Wien, chelfitsch

A theatrical evening

In Metamorphosis of a living room, six Japanese actors and seven musicians from Klangforum Wien initially share the stage in harmony. The story is about a family that is evicted from their home. This problem can be solved, but soon another catastrophe of unprecedented magnitude looms. Little by little, the music and the scenic acts merge, creating a whole new experience. All forms of spoken text, the entire human-oriented world, dissolve into sounds.

Toshiki Okada: 'To develop a new kind of musical theatre, I am joining forces with Dai Fujikura, a flexible and adventurous composer. We'll see how far we can go. Fujikura's music is very powerful. It's as if the music itself, or maybe even every instrument, is an actor.'
