Shiki Theater Company Musical Dream Awakened from Dream/Utah and Mysterious Friends DVD Box

A tender tale of hope and courage, gently imparting the importance of life - this is the story that has been transformed into a captivating DVD. Hailing from the four-season repertoire of a renowned troop, two masterpieces of fantasy and musical brilliance have been brought to life.

A dream awakens from a dream, a musical fantasy unfolding before our eyes. Jiro Akakawa's masterpiece, featuring a cast of 1.3 million and four seasons of drama, is a love adventure fantasy set in the mystical land of Utah and its Mysterious Friends. From today to tomorrow, this production explores the wildly beautiful Tohoku nature, becoming an absolute must-have that has sparked conversations and charity performances in the aftermath of a devastating earthquake.

"A dream awakens from a dream" tells the story of Pico, a girl yearning to be different from the world she knows. One night, at an amusement park, Pico encounters a beautiful girl named Mako, whose lonely eyes hold a secret. Mako confides in Pico, revealing that she is, in fact, a ghost. Pico is given just one day to embrace Mako's wish and take her place. (Recorded in April 2011: Fall Theater)

"Utah and the Mysterious Friends" transports us to a village nestled deep in the Tohoku mountains. Yuta, a student from Tokyo, has moved to this remote village, his mother's hometown. It seems his father had once ventured here and returned with the words of the village. As a unique twist, the children in this village have been affectionately nicknamed "Uta" instead of their given names. (Recorded in June 2011: Fall Theater)

Accompanying the DVD are special box specifications, including the two works mentioned above. As a bonus, the box set also includes a postcard.

This captivating collection, a testament to the power of hope, courage, and the magic of the performing arts, has become a talking point and a catalyst for charitable endeavors in the wake of a natural disaster. It invites us to immerse ourselves in the enchanting world of fantasy, music, and the resilience of the human spirit.
