100 years of sleep

SHOW WITH INTERNATIONAL SIGN

As one travels between the boundaries of dreams and reality, a world emerges. Without relying on spoken language and connecting a series of points, memories are evoked. We, who try to understand everything through words, are invited to imagine the world that extends beyond. "A Hundred Years of Sleep" originated from a long-term project that has continued for six years since 2018, primarily involving actors from the Japanese Theatre of the Deaf and Deaf Puppet Theatre Hitomi, who have led Japanese Deaf theatre. Shuji Onodera of Company DERASHINERA directs and has garnered attention for his unique staging based on mime movement. The piece explores the body, transcending the boundaries of dance, mime, sign language, and spoken words. Notably, the participation of Deaf elementary school students also focuses on children's potential.
