What’s SPAC

Shizuoka Performing Arts Center (SPAC) was founded in 1995 by Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan. SPAC is the first publicly founded cultural organization in Japan to have residential actors as well as a technical and administrative staff that manages its own theatre venues and facilities for artistic purposes. As a creative base of the performing arts, it generates programs of creation, presentation, education and also programs of exchange / collaboration with artists and institutions of Japan and abroad. SUZUKI Tadashi was the first General Artistic Director of SPAC since 1997 through to March, 2007. In April, 2007, MIYAGI Satoshi was appointed as the General Artistic Director and SPAC started its new phase under his direction. SPAC puts its efforts into various kinds of activities such as creating a variety of theatre pieces, organizing “World Theatre Festival Shizuoka”, inviting students to the theatre, developing theatrical human resources, touring abroad, enhancing outreaching program and many more.

SPAC can present some remarkable points.

1. Persons

SPAC is a company with professional persons to create performing arts.
・General Artistic Director: the symbol of SPAC, who leads the organization and authorizes the overall policy.
・Professionals: residential actors, technical staff, directors, production staff who engages with creation.

2. Facilities

SPAC can utilize own facilities such as; “Studio” where actors formulate their disciplined physical bodies for creating original performing arts, and “Venue” to represent their outputs. Venues have high standard structures and expertise, which are facilities specialized in performing arts for only SPAC’s use, not for rent. In Japan, SPAC is the first model case realizing European theatre system as “A theatre with software”. SPAC has been accepting a lot of attentions in this context, as well as from the viewpoint of cultural policy by a local government.

3. Pieces

SPAC original pieces are highly evaluated both domestically and internationally, continuing presentation in more than eleven countries such as United States, Greek, Russia, France, and Italy. Its repertoires are treasures of SPAC, achieved by own-based staff and actors.

4. Theatre, for communication and connection

Theatre is a window to the world. Not only creation activities, SPAC also holds international performing arts festivals and programs for human resources development to nurture future artists. The energy emitted by a human body on the stage is a once-in-a-lifetime one. SPAC provides opportunities to feel such energy, to inspire creativity and imagination of both performers and audiences. Where both of them can meet each other is “a theatre”.

MIYAGI Satoshi / General Artistic Director

Born in 1959 in Tokyo. He is the General Artistic Director of the Shizuoka Performing Arts Center (SPAC). He studied the theory of drama from Yushi ODASHIMA, Moriaki WATANABE, and Hachiro HITAKA at Tokyo University, and founded Ku Na’uka Theatre Company in 1990. He is engaged in various international performance activities, and is praised for his direction fusing the contemporary interpretation of text and the physical techniques and stylization of Asian plays. He was appointed as the General Artistic Director of the SPAC in April of 2007. He not only performs his original work but also invites various works that sharply depict the modern society from around the world, and is working to create a theater as a “window to look out toward the world.” After the success of “Mahabharata” which received an invitation to and was performed at Festival d’Avignon in July 2014, he performed “Antigone” in 2017 as the opening act of the Festival at the Cour d’honneur du Palais des papes. It was the first time in the Festival’s history that an Asian play was selected as the opening act, and the world depicted by the work caused a great reaction. His other representative works include “Medea” and “Peer Gynt.” He received the Grand Prix of the 3rd Asahi Performing Arts Awards (2004), the 2nd Asahi Beer Art Prize (2005), and the 68th Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology’s Art Encouragement Prize of Drama (2018).

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.

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.

Spinning Gears

 
A novel written by AKUTAGAWA Ryunosuke in his final years is adapted into a performance by TADA Junnosuke.
 
Released after the author’s suicide in 1927, the novel “Spinning Gears” depicts a man writing a novel in a hotel in Tokyo at which he stays for a few days to attend his acquaintance’s wedding ceremony. He keeps working on writing as a way to keep his head together through the fear of destruction and death triggered by the news of his brother-in-law’s death. The main character provokes the image of the author himself, who was also facing the shadow of the approaching death at the time of writing the novel. This is the first SPAC program directed by TADA Junnosuke, a director with increasing domestic and international recognition as the head of theatre company Tokyo Deathlock and Artistic Director at Cultural Centre of Fujimi City, KIRARI FUJIMI.

The Lesson [La Leçon]

One day, a student visits a professor to receive private tutoring.
The tutoring sessions that seemed ordinary and harmless gradually go off track, leading to the most unexpected ending.

The Lesson: A Comic Drama is a theatrical play written by Romanian playwright Eugène Ionesco, which was originally released in 1950. Leveraging the surreal humor permeating the play, Ionesco revealed the madness and dysfunctional communication lurking in day-to-day life. MIYAGI Satoshi selected the most talented stage director of our generation, NISHI Satoshi, whose comeback has been long awaited through the years of his silence after gaining great esteem, to direct the staging of this absurd theater masterpiece that has been played all over the world through the past half century.

Directed by NISHI Satoshi
Codirected by KIKUKAWA Asako
Written by Eugène IONESCO
