Keralino Sandrovich (KERA) who appeared in the rehearsal hall for a special lecture
The lecture report of the stage "SLAPSTICKS", which will be performed as the 4th KERA CROSS, has arrived, directed by Naoyuki Miura, written by Keralino Sandrovich (KERA). [All photos] "SLAPSTICKS" lecture The stage of this work is Hollywood, which is at a turning point from a silent movie to a talkie. A romantic comedy about people who are passionate about making movies in times of turbulence through a young man full of love and hope for movies. It was premiered by Keralino Sandrovich at 100 ° C nylon in 1993 and replayed in 2003 starring Joe Odagiri. This time, the main character, young assistant director Billy Harlock, will play an active role on the stage such as "Producers" and "Jack the Ripper", as well as appearing in the taiga drama "Reach Beyond the Blue". Kimura achieved. Reika Sakurai, who graduated from Nogizaka46 and has a presence in the musicals "GHOST" and "Dance of the Vampire", will play the role of Alice Turner, Billy's first love. And, after 18 Billy is Ryosei Konishi. In addition, unique talented groups such as Kazuho So, Satoshi Kanada, Seiya Motoki, Tomoyo Kurosawa, and Maggie gathered. One day in late autumn, KERA appeared in the rehearsal hall. Along with Toshiya Shinno of the Comedy Film Study Group, who is cooperating with the setting examination and cooperation for this performance, the cast staff will watch the famous scenes of silent movies around the 20s together, and have them explain it. The lecture was held. Actually, KERA and Shinno are friends of seniors and juniors in high school (Shinno is a senior for two years). First of all, the relationship between the two, Roscoe Arbuckle and Mack Sennett who are also the characters of this work, that Sennett is a very important person for the culture of movies, "Maggie who plays that role is that I want you to keep that in mind, "said KERA. Naoyuki Miura, the director of this performance, commented officially, "'SLAPSTICKS' is a story of people who love silent comedy. And I think it is also a story of KERA's love for silent comedy." However, KERA nodded, "That's right," and admitted that this was a play that made him write his love for the movie when he was 30 years old. I hope that everyone will be interested in the work and play it while enjoying the work, and I have given them such time. " Shinno, who brought not only a VTR but also a personal projector for this lecture, said, "At that time, when media was only newspapers and magazines, Mack invented" entertainment "with the birth of movies. Sennett. His production has created various shooting methods for American films today, and he is also the foundation of the network of various filmmakers. The images that will be shown in the future are people 100 years ago. Anyway, it may be helpful to know that the amount of enthusiasm for the movie is completely different from what it is now. Probably most of the images you see for the first time, but first of all, please relax your shoulders and enjoy it. " Finally, the screening of the famous scene collection of the gem of silent comedy has started. Not only Roscoe Arbuckle and Mabel Normand appearing in the play, but also famous places such as Harold Lloyd, Charles Chaplin and Buster Keaton were projected on the small screen installed in the rehearsal hall. Chaplin's brother, Keaton's sister and wife, "This person is an art director," "This is a scriptwriter," "This role is actually Keaton's only bike action from the middle," etc. I stopped and watched while checking, "Tsukomi comments unique to Shinno came in, and every time the participants laughed, they said" Hey! "" Wow, amazing! "" Kowa! " Is also echoing. During the VTR screenings of the three omnibus collections prepared, questions were also accepted from the cast, and Maggie seemed to be particularly curious, and Harold Lloyd's video showed the mechanism of the action performed on the upper floors of the building. I heard (according to Shinno, I built a tall set on the roof of the building and took pictures with a devised camera angle), and asked about the person of Mack Sennett who I play. In addition, Tomoyo Kurosawa, who plays Virginia Rappe, and the cast, who plays a real person, include the actual incidents and the usual behavior of the filmmakers at that time in this story. It seems that you are wondering what happened in reality and where KERA was created, and about each character and "Is there really an actress who eats a bicycle?" (KERA's answer is "creation!" ")," Who did you imagine the whitewashed man? "(" I think it was Harry Langdon, "KERA)," Was there gender or racial discrimination in the film industry at that time? " They seemed to be on an equal footing, the gala was more important to the person who sold than the gender difference, and the comedians and comedians were similarly required to be considerably more intense for laughter than to be men or women. There was a lively question and answer session. In addition, Shinno took a long time to explain the "Arbuckle Incident," which is one of the big motifs of the story and still has many mysteries, while prefaced by saying, "In the end, I can only imagine it." When asked, "What kind of laughter was the actual Arbuckle?", KERA said, "A bright and completely" positive "person. Anyway, no one can move that much, and a little footwork, Hand-handling is flowing. In the first place, the reason why people who are as fat as they are now in Japan are expressed as "fat" in the national ward is "debu debu" which was once popular in the Edo period when giving an easy-to-remember name to Arbuckle. After revealing the trivia-like fact that it was "Fat-kun" by applying the word "Fat-kun", the last included the voice of the piano performance of the 1916 short "Fat Cook" starring the Arbuckle. Screened in full version. After the screening, "I will talk about my personal feelings," said KERA as a closing comment, "I will never forget Chaplin's" Modern Times, "which I saw with my father in December of the 4th grade. The following year, when I saw Chaplin, I was completely fascinated by it. ”I wrote in my sixth grade graduation album,“ What I want to be in the future is a comedy film director, ”and that is clearly my departure. The point was that he was supposed to be doing something like Chaplin or Keaton when he bought an 8mm camera, but after that, a person who entered high school and was shooting similar images went to the same movie club. And that was Shinno ... "Now, when I think about it, I think I was crazy, but I really liked movies, but the people around me don't like movies that much. For those people, a silent comedy It's a work like "exercise" that I wanted to convey to myself that such "forgotten things" had happened in the past, including creation and fabrication. " Regarding the fact that "SLAPSTICKS" and the plural "S" are attached above, "By deliberately pluralizing the respect for many comedians, comedians, and creators, there is" SLAPSTICK "for everyone. In the sense, it's plural, "he said in the title. "I was young, and at the time I was being moved in a place that wasn't logical. When I played a character from the silent era who would have lived with an extraordinary amount of heat, it's hard to tell even if I create it in a completely cool state. I think it might be, so it only takes a few months, so now that I have a video that I can watch on YouTube, I'm in a really blessed environment, so it's not that funny, but I'll watch it again. And I hope that both those who play real people and those who play creative characters can play with the convincing power that exists as a resident of the world at that time. Teru! I think, and I'm embarrassed to write a lot of young and straight things, so it doesn't matter how you change it according to Miura-kun's interpretation. It's okay to get it, so I hope everyone can enjoy and reproduce the people of that era! " Whether all the cast members were completely fascinated by the silent movie, after the greeting, many people raised their hands and the question corner continued, the feelings for the work and the characters to be played, and this story world full of movie love built with the characters. It seems that his feelings for him have been amplified considerably. Expectations are rising for the new version "SLAPSTICKS", which should be more realistic and deeper, and I can't wait to see the curtain on the first day.Interview / text Ritsuko Tanaka Photo courtesy of Toho Drama Club ■ Performance Overview KERA CROSS 4th "SLAPSTICKS" December 25th (Sat) and 26th (Sun), 2021 Tokyo Theater 101202 January 8th (Sat) ~ 10th (Monday / holiday) Osaka Prefecture Sankei Hall Breeze January 14th (Friday) to 16th (Sunday) 2022 Hakataza Theater, Fukuoka Prefecture January 28th (Friday) 2022 Aichi Prefecture Japan Special Ceramics Citizens' Hall Village Hall 2022 February 3rd (Thursday) to 17th (Thursday), Tokyo Theater Creation Written by Keralino Sandrovich Director: Naoyuki Miura Cast: Kimura Tatsunari, Reika Sakurai, Ryosei Konishi / Soichiho, Hannya , Motoki Seiya, Kurosawa Tomoyo, Maggie / Kameshima Kazunori, Shinozaki Daigo, Shimada Momoko, Mochizuki Ayano, Morimoto Hana
