On October 17, 2025, mark your calendars for a unique theatrical experience as Acting Arts Group Engisha presents 'Now, Women Dreaming of Revolution'. Set to take place at Terpsichore in Nakano, Tokyo, this riveting performance draws upon the incredible energy of only five actors to tell the poignant story of three young women compelled to pursue their revolutionary dreams.
The narrative unfolds with Maki, a daughter who carries the legacy of her mother’s revolutionary aspirations. Alongside her are Erika, the daughter of an assassinated tycoon, and Pandhi, a North Korean spy. Their paths cross through fate, igniting a desperate quest for revolution that is fraught with challenges and moral inquiries. Engaging with a theme that neither glorifies revolution nor trivializes its consequences, the play delves into the cyclical nature of history where revolutions have birthed leaders who shape societies.
Engisha's approach to theater avoids the use of elaborate sets or props, embracing the beauty of simplicity and letting the actors' talent shine. Performing with a mostly bare stage allows the production to explore a range of emotions and storytelling nuances through dynamic acting and voice. The cast, featuring talented performers including Ren Nakamura, Kaoru Ochi, and others, brings the characters to life with remarkable vigor, drawing audiences into a world filled with imagination and profound reflections on our societal evolution.
The director, Masayasu Omura, along with assistant director Kaoru Ochi, has crafted a piece that keeps the audience engaged while prompting them to reflect on the questions that arise from humanity’s past and current conflicts. In a world where wars continue to rage and weapons are still manufactured, are we truly evolving as a species? This is a thought-provoking query that the performance seeks to address.
Audiences are encouraged to be part of this extraordinary theatrical journey. The performance not only showcases skilled acting but the sheer power of human expression through a unique lens. The dedicated team behind the production comprises a group of passionate individuals who ensure that the essence of theater is not lost, even without a traditional setup.
