Transit, An Original Musical (2017)

Transit is an original musical about Japan told through the eyes of its outsiders. Through a love story about a Hafu woman and her Australian boyfriend, the show reflects on the lives of those who are stuck " in transit". Themes such as being between cultures, identities, and reality versus goals and dreams are depicted through song, dance, comedy, and drama. Written by Aya Kawakami and directed by Jessica A. Robison, the show features some of Nagoya's finest actors, singers, and dancers. The music is written by David Freeman, a professional composer known in Japan and beyond for his film and animation scores, as well as his band, Sushi Cabaret, which has played at the prestigious Fuji Rock Festival. Supporting him are composers Aya Kawakami and David Dycus, both veteran musicians living in the community. 

次こそは本物の愛なのだろうか。ホリデーから始まったエリックとミナのロマンチックな恋が現実生活と直面する時が来た。このミュージカル「Transit」の舞台は日本・広島県。2人の恋模様が広島に住む外国人の仲間達の姿と共に描かれている。ストーリーの中心となるのはエリック、ミナの2人と、それぞれの親友達。この4人が自分のルーツ(もと居た場所)と自分の居たい場所との間で葛藤する。物語の最後に彼らが見出したものとは…?

演出はJessica A. Robison、脚本はAya Kawakami、音楽はAya Kawakamiの他、映画音楽の作曲家であるDavid Freeman、David Dycusが手掛けます。この4名に加え、名古屋の演劇界で活躍するアーティスト達が俳優や裏方として関わっています。
