yoowa's Latest Endeavor in Musical Theater
The innovative creative project known as yoowa has officially unveiled its upcoming musical,
LASTEVEREREVE, set to take place from June 12 to June 15, 2025, at Asakusa Kyugeki in Tokyo, Japan. Tickets are currently available for purchase through Confetti, which is operated by Long Run Planning Inc., based in Shinjuku, Tokyo.
A Unique Storytelling Experience
LASTEVEREREVE promises to deliver an unparalleled theatrical experience that intertwines elements of documentary filmmaking with fiction, creating a vivid portrayal of characters that reflect real emotions. This musical dives deep into universal themes, exploring the gaps between self/other and ideal/reality.
The narrative is set around the complex relationship dynamics of a former family, particularly focusing on a woman named Han who claims to be their 'daughter' while idolizing a deceased pop star. This thought-provoking storyline begins inside a rehearsal space, merging the realms of reality and fiction, past and present, life and death in intricate ways that provoke introspection.
Characters and Their Journey
The plot revolves around various characters:
- - Han plays the role of a woman burdened by the legacy of a dead idol, wrestling with her purpose in life while trying to embody the spirit of her idol.
- - Maru, her adoptive father, grapples with his unresolved regret and longing for his past while running a café.
- - Sei, who mourns the loss of her real daughter, struggles to retain familial bonds amidst the emotional turmoil that ensues.
- - The Police Officer, still haunted by the memory of his deceased brother Akira, encounters a mysterious young man named You who closely resembles his lost sibling.
- - Other characters like Meg, Han's loyal fan navigating between reality and illusion, and The Narrator, who adds a reflective dimension to the unfolding drama, create a rich tapestry of interconnected stories.
This production seeks to explore the duality of existence, where every character is both a substitute for someone else and simultaneously lacks a definitive identity themselves.
The Artistic Vision of yoowa
Under the theme "a point of harmony between you and me," yoowa aims to redefine contemporary theater by offering a collaborative platform for both creators and audiences alike. Their previous productions have received accolades, including awards for the best actor and sound design at the Sato Sakichi Awards 2023.
With prominent figures such as Riko Otsuki directing and Riku Kusada penning the script, the project integrates profound thematic elements through meticulous choreography and haunting musical compositions by Motoi of CHOFU LIT. The staging aims to emphasize intimacy between space, body, and text, continually challenging the traditional boundaries of musical theater.
