【Profile】

Jean LAMBERT-WILD

Lambert-wild was born in 1972 in Réunion, a French island territory located in the Indian Ocean off the coast of South India. He is a playwright, director, and actor. Lambert-wild has cultivated his poetic power of imagination through the unique environment of his upbringing, and his magical knack for direction has become highly esteemed. His young age belies his long and impressive history of supervising a wide array of national theater centers across France. Some of his most representative works include a fantasized autobiographical epic titled “The Hypogeum (The Underground Tomb),” “The Molting,” a piece he created alongside indigenous peoples of Brazil, an adaptation of “Waiting for Godot,” and more. In 2014, Lambert-wild received the ‘Chevalier’ (knight) medallion prize from the Ordre des Arts et des Lettres. To date, SPAC has presented three programs directed by him: “The Goat of Monsieur Seguin” (2011), “Splendor and Lassitude of Captain Iwatani Izumi” (2014), “Richard III – Loyalty binds me”(2018) and, YOTARO AU PAYS DES YŌKAIS(2019,2020).

Peer Gynt

The opening show of “SPAC AUTUMN-SPRING 2022-2023”, is the phenomenal adventure “Peer Gynt” written by Norwegian great author Henrik IBSEN based on Nordic folklore. You will experience the tremendous journey of Peer with grand live musical performances by the actors. The director MIYAGI Satoshi depicts untold analogies between this 150 years old closet drama and the history of Japan around the time the book was published; when the country was opening to the world.
The stage of this early masterpiece by MIYAGI and SPAC will finally come again after a period of ten years!

 

Directed by MIYAGI Satoshi
Written by Henrik Johan IBSEN
Translated by MORI Mitsuya
Music by TANAKAWA Hiroko

 
Outline of the story 
Peer Gynt, living with his mother Åse, is ridiculed by the whole village. He is a big-mouth daydreamer who has no hesitation in boasting that he will become an emperor, and goes on a rampage when drunk. Although he meets his destiny Solveig at the wedding of Ingrid, a landowner’s daughter, he runs off by kidnapping the bride. However, he soon gets rid of Ingrid and next tries to marry the daughter of the troll king, but fails to become a troll himself and flees back to his village. Although Peer is expelled from his home village and about to starts living in the forest alone, Solveig arrives to Peer after leaving everything behind to live with him.

【Profile】
MIYAGI Satoshi

Born in Tokyo in 1959, after studying aesthetics at Tokyo University under ODASHIMA Yushi, WATANABE Moriaki and HIDAKA Hachiro, he founded the KU NA’ UKA theater company in 1990 and soon began staging plays overseas as well as in Japan. As a result, MIYAGI’s work — in which he often fuses contemporary textual interpretations with physical techniques and patterns of Asian theatre — has long been acclaimed both at home and far beyond. Indeed, in 2004 he received the 3rd Asahi Performing Arts Award, and the next year the 2nd Asahi Beer Art Award. Since taking up his position with SPAC in April 2007, MIYAGI has staged many of his own works — including “Medea”, the Hindu epic “Mahabharata”, and “Peer Gynt” — and has invited artists from abroad to present pieces casting a keen eye on the modern world as they see it. In line with his aim to make theatre “a window to the world,” he has also started a new SPAC-based project aimed at the youth of Shizuoka. In 2014, MIYAGI was invited to the Festival d’Avignon, where he received excellent reviews for his open-air version of the Hindu epic “Mahabharata” staged in La Carrière de Boulbon. Following that landmark achievement, the festival extended the honor of inviting MIYAGI to present a Buddhist interpretation he created of the ancient Greek mythological tragedy “Antigone” as its super-prestigious opening program for 2017. On that occasion, which was the first time an Asian play had ever been selected to launch the festival, MIYAGI’s exalted “stage” was the open-air Cour d’honneur du Palais des papes (the Honor Court of the Palace of Popes). By the play’s end, those towering medieval stone walls were ringing out with long and splendid standing ovations welcoming the work’s director and creator along with SPAC’s actors and staff — while more than 60 European media all gave great reviews. In 2018, he received the 68th Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology’s Art Encouragement Prize of Drama. Also he recieved “Chevalier de l’Ordre des Arts et des Lettres” from the Ministry of Culture of France in 2018.
