岡田利規 "No Horizon"

2023年12月、ドイツ・ハンブルクのタリア劇場のレパートリー作品として、新作『No Horizon』を発表します。
タリア劇場では、2022年ベルリン演劇祭テアタートレッフェンの“注目すべき10作品”に選出された『Doughnuts』に続き、２作品目となります。

『No Horizon』は、ヴァーチャル・リアリティを描きます。ヴァーチャル空間で繰り広げられる物語が、デジタル技術としてのヴァーチャル・リアリティを用いることなしに、演劇というテクノロジー――つまり、想像力を上演空間で機能させるという俳優のテクノロジーと、それを体験するという観客のテクノロジーとの融合からなるテクノロジー――が駆使されることによって、描き出されます。
言わば『No Horizon』は“人力ヴァーチャル・リアリティ”です。

Toshiki Okada "No Horizon"

Toshiki Okada's new repertoire "No Horizon" will be shown at Thalia Theater in Hamburg, Germany!
The world premiere will be in December, 2023.

This is the second work at Thalia Theater following "Doughnuts," which was chosen "The 10 Selected Productions" by Theatretreffen.

--- quote from the website of Thalia Theater ---

A handful of people gather in a public space. A play ground? Hard to say. Everything is covered with fog.

Take the horizon – for which two words exist in Japanese, one for the sea’s horizon (水平線 / Sui-hei-sen), the other for the horizon of the land (地平線 / Chi-hei-sen).

How self-assuredly – or unassuredly – do we make our way through our contemporary world? How far can we see? How much are we able to grasp? What happens as we spend more and more time both in the real and the virtual world? Why are so many people failing their driving tests? What distinguishes public spaces from private spaces?

The Japanese theatre artist, writer and director Toshiki Okada uses his work to transport characters who live in hypermodernity into actual places: A metro station in Tokyo (Nō Theatre), a Karaoke Bar (No Sex), an apartment house (The Vacuum Cleaner), or the lobby of a hotel on the 22nd floor (Doughnuts). There, he approaches these persons in a singular way, using the instrumentary of his take on modern Japanese theatre. Words are only the tip of the iceberg. Far more is submerged: Call it imagination. A very talented choreographer, as Okada likes to say.

“As we stare into the fog, watching ourselves seeing nothing, are we still holding on to the hope of seeing what we are supposed to be seeing at some future point of time?” Toshiki Okada

“Doughnuts”, Okada’s first production with Thalia Theater, was invited to Theatertreffen Berlin 2022. With “No Horizon”, this rewarding cooperation continues.
