Experience 'Ishizu no Hibiki - SEKIGAHARA'
The innovative nonverbal action theater, "Ishizu no Hibiki - SEKIGAHARA," produced by actor Miki Mizuno, is set to take center stage in Tokyo's Kanda Myojin Hall from September 9 to September 11, 2025. This unique theatrical performance delves into the profound friendship between Ishida Mitsunari and Otani Yoshitsugu, set against the backdrop of the historic Battle of Sekigahara.
A New Dimension of Theater
Unconventional and immersive, this production is entirely devoid of spoken dialogue. Instead, it tells its tale through music, elaborate choreography, and stunning visual presentations, integrating traditional Japanese instruments and modern performance elements like hip-hop dance and parkour. The captivating lead roles are played by Masanari Wada and Tomoki Saotome, both of whom are well-regarded in the realm of 2.5D theater.
With a strong creative team backing the project, the show's director FyZ, an Asian cast member of the globally renowned nonverbal show "STOMP," brings international flair and experience to the production. FyZ has crafted a unique narrative style that combines performing arts with powerful storytelling, emphasizing how much can be conveyed without uttering a single word.
The Ensemble Cast
Joining Wada and Saotome are an impressive lineup of actors, including Momotaro Yasuda, Saori Izawa, Shuuji Okui, and Miki Mizuno herself. Each artist contributes their own flair to the performance, enriching the viewing experience with their collective talents.
The production will feature live performances of traditional instruments such as the Tsugaru shamisen, taiko drums, shō, and shakuhachi, creating an authentic auditory landscape that pairs beautifully with the choreographed actions. The dynamic dance and beatboxing acts performed by YUMERI and RUSY further enhance the engaging atmosphere of the production.
