One Hundred Years of Solitude

ed2k: 100 years of solitude.avi [700.59 Mb]

This sumptuous-yet-austere liberal re-working of Cien años de soledad by Gabriel García Márquez, arranged on a five-part stage surrounded by the audience, was historically the latest production of Tenjo Sajiki. It is also something of a theater prequel to Terayama's last film, Farewell to the Ark.

Like the earlier two ATG films Terayama directed, Saraba hakobune (Farewell to the Ark) was also one part of a larger project. “One-Hundred Years of Solitude” was first performed as a play, the last new play by the Tenjo Sajiki troupe. Performed in a large warehouse, the audience sat on all sides of a central stage that had four smaller satellite stages projected off of its corners. Scenes from the novel took place simultaneously on all stages, forcing the audience to choose between scenes and thereby to partially create the play themselves. This was also the first of Terayama's plays to be professionally filmed, a difficult project given the structure of the performance... (Steve Clarke)

http://www.tatsuya.phkp.co.uk/works/stage-shintokumaru.html

Much of the symbolism of Shintokumaru is shared with Terayama's earlier masterpiece motion picture Pastoral: to die in the country (also known as Pastoral hide-and-seek).
