Daidarabo and Holiburn 2018 – Let’s sing songs to the giants
April 2, 3, 2019
Alverton Primary School (Penzance, Cornwall, UK) and Minack Theatre
Collaborators：Makoto Nomura, Kumiko Yabu
26 children (9-10 years old)
Supported by THE GREAT BRITAIN SASAKAWA FOUNDATION
This performance was after the last five years of thinking about the world of giants with the children of Japan and England. On the first day, we made and sang a song of the giants and practiced “Nattei sumo” with the proposal of Makoto and Kumiko as a ritual calling a giant for the performance. On the second day, we all went to Minack Theater, set up the giant’s lost items, and sang songs and played instruments to sing to the sea. Looking at the sea, the sky, the horizon. While envisioning a giant.
