Description
abstractSynopsis:
The play, through the power of live band concert, awakened people's memory of the land where they live and provoked a reactionary power. Play Synopsis: Prelude: Summer. The trees in the village were withering. A vagabond, carrying tons of trash, was wandering and singing in a desolate land. A homecoming poet was thinking about his encounter with a girl who named ＂Watery Country＂ and he asked the vagabond about everything about "Watery Country". First Part: A gust of foehn came. The poet and the vagabond got away right away."Watery Country" flew away in the wind. A woman dressed in morbid outfit started the dance of "Goodness of Darkness". After a moment, the poet became a dying butterfly , hanging on a rope-like dead twig. Second Part: "Watery Country＂ saved the poet by untying him from a rope. The head priest of a temple prophesized: "a flood will come and wash away the village". The music played by "Watery Country", the poet, and the peasants turned out to be thunderstorm.Epilogue The vagabond rose from the audience and told the audience that the legend of Watery Country had spread over the world. The tourists and the driver took the audience on the stage, and the audience became flying butterflies.
