ROHM Theatre Kyoto Repertory Premiere

Running since 2017, ROHM Theatre Kyoto launched this project to create repertory productions that could be performed for many years to come even as the times change. This year, the project welcomes the French prodigy Gisèle Vienne, who has dazzled audiences around the world. Over the course of two years, she will make an enduring new addition to the repertory program.

Showroomdummies

Inspired by Sacher-Masoch’s Venus in Furs, this is the work that established Gisèle Vienne’s name and which she has continued to adapt and recreate ever since its premiere in 2001. Her collaborator for the direction, choreography, and stage design is Etienne Bideau-Rey. The resulting work is performed by five dancers, one singer, and various puppets, exploring in Vienne’s characteristically original way the boundaries between living and non-living bodies, and between reality and representation. In Japan, the third iteration of the series, Showroomdummies #3, was previously staged in 2014 at the World Theatre Festival Shizuoka.
