Performers to be announced!<\/strong>
A hugely popular live documentary in which actors read through scripts they are seeing for the first time.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

“Read It !! -Sudden script reading”<\/em> is not a performance that simply presents a finished work. It is a live documentary that invites the audience to share the very moment when actors first encounter their characters and gradually become one with them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the beginning of the performance, the actors may misread a kanji or misunderstand a character\u2019s gender. These unexpected moments remind us that actors are people too, and the audience is invited to enjoy these discoveries alongside them. But gradually, the laughter gives way to focused creative work. As the actors connect with one another, they begin to embody the characters in the script, bringing the story to life right before the audience\u2019s eyes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The creative process itself remains open to the audience. Conversations with the director and discussions about how to interpret lines and characters unfold in real time, allowing the audience to witness a unique moment of theatrical creation as it happens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The moment when a character takes possession of an actor. The moment when a story comes into being. Documentary and entertainment unfold simultaneously, offering an entirely new kind of theatrical experience\u2014one in which the world of the script and the process of creating it exist side by side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether you are a seasoned theatergoer or visiting a theater for the first time, come and experience the fresh surprises and excitement of “Read It !! -Sudden script reading”<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please review the important information<\/a> before attending.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
