Description
Junichiro Tanizaki is highly regarded in Japanese literary circles as a great master of aesthetics. Though he claimed to have no specialised knowledge of architecture, he spent tens of thousands of words in his book In Praise of Shadows expounding the meaning of architecture in terms of light and shadow. Is it not the same in theatre? Aren’t we also seized by sensations and desires created by lights and shadows?
According to Junichiro Tanizaki: “The quality that we call beauty often grow from the realities of life. Our ancestors, forced to live in dark rooms, gradually discovered beauty in shadows, and finally even made use of shadows to create beauty. ”
Shadows and beauty are everywhere in the theatre. Based on Junichiro Tanizaki’s book In Praise of Shadows, Mathias Woo explores the Beauty of Space in theatre using the creative elements of architecture, music and images, searching for the beauty that is around us in our lives.
This interpretation of beauty is rendered by the original team of performers from Love Comedy on the Rocks (including Chang Yao-Jen and Tsuei Tai-ho from Taiwan), featuring music created by Yu Yat-yiu@PMPS, and piano performance by KJ Wong.
