Eels travel thousands of kilometers across the ocean to spawn—SPAC (Shizuoka Performing Arts Center)’s new production draws a parallel between the life cycle of eels and the journeys of people who, for various reasons, repeatedly cross the sea. Playwright Natsuki Ishigami and SPAC present a new performance in close collaboration with a cast of residents with Brazilian roots in Shizuoka prefecture, with whom she conducted research and shared opinions for more than a year. Following more than a year of research and dialogue, they join SPAC performers as part of the main cast.

In preparation for its premiere in Shizuoka in April 2026, a Work-in-Progress performance will be held in Hamamatsu on February 28 and March 1.

The post Eel Migration first appeared on SPAC.

Reaching for each other’s hands, and feeling with your eyes, ears, and heart;
This is a project to offer a theater experience to all people —the disabled and non-disabled alike—
from infants to the elderly.

“A close and far place”

Conception, direction, and scenography:

Music: TANAKAWA Hiroko
　
Once you pass through the entrance gate, you will enter a world inside a looking glass.
There are some strange people right in front of you. Is this real, or is it in your dreams?
You will travel through an imaginary world that spreads out in your mind. In your imagination, you can go to places you do not know and encounter things you have never seen before. Let’s explore such world together, where the ordinary becomes extraordinary.
