前向き！タイモン
Based on Shakespeare's Timon of Athens, this contemporary play depicts people struggling at rock bottom while still trying to live forward. Through the relationships among a wealthy recluse, a maid, and an apple farmer, it raises gestures of collapse and renewal.
Work Information
A contemporary Timon in which people at rock bottom still raise a forward-looking cry.
Winner of the 56th Kishida Kunio Drama Award. Mikuni Yanaihara brings Timon of Athens into the present and depicts characters trying to begin again from the middle of misfortune. The play carries the speed and physicality of an artist who crosses the border between dance and theater.
Review Summaries
-
The work is striking for boldly reshaping a classic and pushing back against heavy circumstances through bodily force and rhythmic repetition.
