This is a DVD release of "The Emperor's New Clothes," a musical by the Shiki Theatre Company, which was performed in July-August 2010 as a family musical. You are likely familiar with Hans Christian Andersen's "The Emperor's New Clothes," perhaps from reading or hearing it as a child. Andersen also created many other famous fairy tales such as "Thumbelina," "The Little Mermaid," "The Ugly Duckling," and "The Little Match Girl." His works continue to be read and loved worldwide to this day.
The Shiki Theatre Company's musical "The Emperor's New Clothes" was brought to life with a script by the then-new poet Shuji Terayama, in addition to a distinguished creative team including Director Keita Asari, Composer Tadashi Izumi, Set Designer Kaoru Kanamori, and Lighting Designer Sumio Yoshii. Let's embark on a journey to the King's world, singing a song to open the curtain with the hosts, Applique and Hook.
Amidst the human drama woven by characters with fun names like Pajamama, Suteko, Satin, Momohiki, Slip, and Slipper, can you speak "the truth"?
[STORY]
The King loves clothes more than anything. Everything about him depends on what he wears; he changes his outfit multiple times a day depending on the weather, whom he is meeting, and the color of the flowers in bloom. He owns the most clothes in the world, yet he wants more. The designers Slip and Slipper set their sights on such a King. They storm the castle, proposing to create an outfit for the King to wear at Princess Satin's engagement ceremony.
"Let's create an outfit with a magnificent color that has never been seen before, and that feels completely weightless. However, this outfit will not be visible to those who are incompetent or foolish."
