Curtain Issue 2: Chelfitsch

Curtain

The second issue of Curtain, a Tokyo-based independent magazine.

This issue features the theater company Chelfitsch. Photographer Hosokawa Hiroshi captures the rehearsals leading up to the premiere of their 2013 work, Ground and Floor. Ground and Floor is a musical theatre piece that takes a sharp look at the social issues that have arisen since the earthquake disaster, and was produced in collaboration with the band Sangatsu. After its premiere in Brussels, the piece toured around the world, including Switzerland, the Netherlands, and Germany, before being performed in Sapporo and Sendai in March 2015.

Unlike the first issue, which had a challenging structure, this issue has a stronger documentary feel. However, just like the title "Curtain," the boundary between the stage and backstage is not clearly defined or fixed, and this ambiguity seems to suggest something about "acting/theater" in society and everyday life.

First edition of 500 copies.
