Révélation

A drama that deeply cuts to the truth of the slave trade which caused the disintegration of Africa is recreated as a theatrical musical with a festive atmosphere with Miyagi’s distinct views on life and death. The actors’ voices and bodies and the music together play a hymn to human dignity.

Miyagi and SPAC are privileged to bring out this new program at the request of La Colline – théâtre national, a French theatre that exclusively performs works by modern playwrights. It is the theatre’s first time to have a Japanese company create a program to open a new season. This program is based on the groundbreaking work of a Cameroonian female author living in France, Léonora MIANO. This program was performed for the first time in the world in Paris in September 2018 and will be brought to the Shizuoka Arts Theatre in January 2019.

Text by Léonora MIANO
Translated by HIRANO Akihito
Script and Directed by MIYAGI Satoshi
Music by TANAKAWA Hiroko

Synopsis

The Creator of all living things, Inyi, sees the rise of a new challenge—a “strike” of reincarnating souls refusing to go back into human bodies against the laws of the universe. Inyi gathers the lost souls to ask the reasons for their resistance. There, she hears the cries of the souls that have gone through horrible lives as slaves. Inyi starts on the judgment of the souls that created the causes for their cries.
