Yamato Takeru: The White Swan That Flew from Nobono

About this event

The citizen-participation musical 'Yamato Takeru - The White Swan That Flew from Nobono', set in Nobono, Kameyama City, Mie Prefecture, will be held in the Main Hall of Kameyama City Cultural Center. In this performance, the protagonist Yuko, who was visiting Nobono where the mausoleum where Yamato Takeru is said to rest is located, tells her friends, 'I once met Yamato Takeru and we loved each other.' The story begins when Yuko travels back in time about two thousand years to the era of Emperor Keiko while trying to pick up a scarf in the sea. Featuring former Takarazuka Revue members Haruka Mebae, Akiho Mitsumi, and Kanade Tsukiji, along with Mahiko Shimizu, Saaya Kubo, Chiga Yoshikawa, Ami Fukuda, and about 60 citizens selected through open auditions, a warm stage unique to Kameyama unfolds. With large stage sets, costumes, and event-day staff also handled by citizens, it is truly a community-wide creative musical.
