音楽朗読劇『黒世界 〜リリーの永遠記憶探訪記、或いは、終わりなき繭期にまつわる寥々たる考察について〜』日和の章

“Let time stop, so that you can be beautiful forever…” It was a dream of an eternal Cocoon. At the end of that eternal Cocoon, the girl awoke from her dream and left the flower garden. The real world to which the girl returns to is a desolate wasteland. An endless journey. An eternal Cocoon. Seeking a death she cannot find. As she wanders, the girl repeatedly encounters and parts ways with others. Fourteen actors and seven playwrights weave together twelve stories of loneliness and madness.

Nostalgia Across the Sea

In the autumn of 1756, the Kuki clan is found in the mountainous fief of Sanda. It has been relocated from the seashore by the Tokugawa shogunate because of the clan's navy, known as the strongest during the age of civil wars and therefore regarded as a menace to the security of the new rulers. The lord of Sanda, Takamura Kuki, is determined to defend the fief as a land warrior, whereas Umihito Kuki, his younger brother, maintains the pride of a sea warrior and dreams of sailing out to unseen foreign lands notwithstanding the shogunate's isolation policy. Umihito is engaged to Princess Yu, a beautiful and lively daughter of the lord of Tanba-Ayabe fief. Although the match itself was made for the convenience of their families, they have known each other since childhood and are strongly bound by mutual respect and profound love.
