Shiki Theater Company Musical Elkos Prayer (DVD)

Elcos's heartfelt prayer from the theater will bring a warm touch to your children. What you get in Elcos is a robot with a warm heart. Have you ever encountered such a beautiful heart? Elcos is the sole wish that makes children smile. We aim to fill the hearts of individuals with compassion and gentle warmth.

The "Four Seasons" musical Elcos's prayer is etched upon. The story follows children who live regimented lives, only allowed to follow orders, as they restore their own personality and awaken to excellence through a dream. This is not just for the stage but also for modern children to feel a connection with their hearts.

A near-futuristic and vibrant costume, a fantastic choreography, and a dynamic stage, coupled with the warm interaction between the robot and children, create an immersive experience. Kids and adults alike wish to rediscover what they have forgotten. Don't miss the captivating prayer on stage.

Recorded in NHK Hall in October 2009, the story unfolds 50 years into the future at Utopia Academy. This was a school that strictly managed and educated children deemed to be problem cases. One day, before the kids who have forgotten their dreams, hopes, and even laughter, a robot named Elric Cosmos, also known as Elcos, arrives.

Elcos is committed to bringing out the personality of each child with a warm embrace. Her gentle heart soon inspires the children, reminding them of the importance of empathy and the wonders of caring. Her eyes restore the shine within them. Among these children, Jon is a student who initially struggles with Elcos. Haunted by a younger trauma, he cannot trust robots, but an inevitable encounter with Elcos changes his perspective.

The performance features Keita Asari in the role of Elcos, guiding the children through the "Four Seasons" of the story, a 111-minute production presented in a 16:9 wide-screen format by the SHIKI THEATRE COMPANY. This heartwarming tale invites the audience to rediscover the value of dreams, compassion, and the transformative power of a warm, robotic presence in the lives of modern children.
