A New Chapter Awaits: Asagaya Spiders' 'Farewell Twilight'

The acclaimed theater group, Asagaya Spiders, under the direction of Keishi Nagatsuka, is all set to release their latest production, 'Farewell Twilight.' After a two-year break from public performances, this new play promises to be a multifaceted exploration of justice, morality, and communal dynamics.

Show Details

Set to take place from November 8 to November 30, 2025, at the intimate venue of Ko-geki-jo Rakuen, located in Setagaya, Tokyo, the play will capture the hearts of both longtime fans and newcomers. Tickets went on sale starting September 27, 2025, at 10:00 AM through Confetti, operated by Long Run Planning Co., Ltd. in Shinjuku, Tokyo.

The Intrigue of 'Farewell Twilight'

The story focuses on the residents of a small mountain village, where the return of a once-estranged police officer, Takei, shakes the community's sense of justice. As he approaches the end of his career and considers retirement, an unexpected piece of news threatens to unravel the peace he has fought for, forcing both him and the villagers to confront their moral standards and what it means to be 'right.'

Crafted by the insightful pen of Nagatsuka, 'Farewell Twilight' digs deep into the nature of righteousness amid shifting societal norms. It aims to challenge audience perceptions of 'justice' through riveting dialogue and character interactions, drawing parallels to the themes prevalent in 2000s Asagaya Spiders plays.

Unique Venue Experience

The Ko-geki-jo Rakuen theater itself adds another layer of uniqueness to the production. With a seating capacity of less than 100, the audience is enveloped in an immersive theater experience where they can feel the breath and emotion of the performers. This proximity enhances the narrative's tension, delivering an unforgettable viewing experience.

Special Engagement Initiatives

To extend the theater experience, the Asagaya Spiders will host a 'Backstage Tour' after each performance. Participants can engage with cast members and crew, gaining insights into the production process and the set design. This initiative, free for anyone attending the play, adds a personal touch that invites deeper engagement with the material. Additionally, select performances will feature a pre-show 'Pre-Talk' and offer support services for audience members with visual impairment.

The play is not just about watching but about participating in a collective dialogue about morality and community ethos.
