Bamboo Cutter
Viewed the spring performance by Milky Maihime, The Tale of the Bamboo-Cutter and the Moon Princes. I have not read full text of the original story that can be read in the above.
Story: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Tale_of_the_Bamboo_Cutter
So attractive even at the moment of birth. It is natural that many princesses were fascinated.
Transformed to a beautiful princes in just about no time. In the original story, it took only there months from an infant of height of 9cm to an adult.
This show did not use quick stage changes but a bamboo boat moving between stages. This is an act where men were asking for hand in front of gorgeous house of the whitebeard who became rich with gold that was found in the bamboo bush.
Audiences were sitting in a small area so it was easy to shoot all of them. Some found difficulty to find sitting space and someone stood up and dropped although it was told not to stand up.
Gorgeous room that reminds me of the inner palace of the castle at Edo. It is creating an atmosphere within the limited space.
Guard women trying to fight against people from the moon.
The Moon Princes performing final dance waiting for the mission from the moon.
The bamboo boat did not face toward the stage, so it was necessary to move camera. Some one did not know it and said she was not able to see the stage. I also almost missed the mission coming in without someone said “Look left!”
Another idea than the bamboo boat was to change clothing on the set within blowing out particles. It was quick and could end up with gray mess in a heavy SIM, but it was cut it beautifully. The final act, dance together with the mission. It was a bit disappointing that the faint love with the emperor was not included in this show, and the ending that he burnt the immortal medicine which the princes gave him.
The princes was banished to the earth due to her sin. In this show, the sin was “an attempt to be special person by herself”. Since the sin was expiated, the whole agony at the place of exile will be cleared and forgot, but could the life on the earth be rather happy memories? The show ended with the theme that I did not notice when reading the original. Thank you Milky Maihime for the wonderful images!
