OREGAYO Performance in ST Spot

The Constitution of Japan was made 75 years ago, after World War II. This constitution was based on the reflection of the war. Therefore, we Japanese pledged in this Constitution ‘Abandonment of war’, ’Respect for human rights’, ’Sovereignty of the people’. This work focuses on the issue of constitutional amendment, which has become a topic of public debate in these years. Through the performers’ bodies, the performance describes the mood at the time of the Japanese constitution’s enactment, quoting from the constitution, a supplementary reader called The Story of the New Constitution (produced by the former Ministry of Education, Science and Culture), and a speech given by the politician Yukio Ozaki to parliament at the time of the enactment. Thus the performance goes beyond the dichotomy of constitutional revisionists and loyalists, and raises questions about the future of Japan. So far, this work has been shown all over Japan e.g.Tokyo, Kyoto,Okinawa. Also shown in Festival Temps D' Images Cluj, Centrul de Teatru Educațional Replika (Romania).
