禁煙の害についてOn the Harmful Effects of No-Smoking

作・演出危口統之。もともとはチェーホフ「喫煙の害について」に着想を得つつ着手したが、まったく別の作品になってしまう。 禁煙と喫煙をモチーフとしつつ、二項対立でしか物事を考えられない思考のあり方への批判を込める。 演劇作品としては異例の「喫煙席」を設定。 また「禁煙席」を選ぶと、透明アクリル板によって隔離された特殊な装置内部から観劇するという仕掛け。 ゲストスタッフとして音楽家の安野太郎、現代美術家の飯沢未央が、 それぞれ音響効果と装置で参加。

Written and produced by Kiguchi.
The idea originally came from the piece “On the Harmful Effects of Tobacco ” by Chekhov, but the piece turned into something totally different. A criticism for dichotomy can be seen as using smoking and non-smoking motifs. The smoking section was prepared for the piece which is very unlikely for stage plays, and if you choose a non-smoking seat, you get put inside of this special viewing equipment made of translucent acrylic boards that isolates you. A musician Taro Yasuno as a sound crew, and an artist Mio Iizawa as a set designer also participated in the piece as guests.
