東洋空想世界「blue egoist」 (12/8 12:00 and 17:00) is available for streaming until 12/15, on theater-complex.town
(it is entirely in japanese with no subtitles, but theater-complex.town itself is available in english and does not require a japanese credit card or a vpn.)
this piece is just very, very good. it was promoted with purposefully minimum prior information, so this is all i should tell you: it's just very, very good.
i and my sister still haven't stopped yelling at each other about it since the opening day, both in person and on the spreadsheet we're using to draft the subtitles.
...yes. i'm already halfway through the first draft for the english subtitles.

p.s. the title of m3 (pictured above), which we had all been calling "Fiction", has turned out to be "不iction". it is so clever, and i'm going mad with all the implications it has on the translation.
#blue egoist#seriously though this is easily the most impressive work i've seen this year#if abe alan starts a career as a producer i will follow his works like a duckling student following a favourite professor course to course#i think he's got that power of making a group project work AND turn out the way he intends#nothing in this project seemed like it was a result of an unsatisfactory compromise#also he mentioned looking to take this one overseas multiple times in different interviews#and it makes me really happy!!#because although it's technically not a 2.5d stage play (since it is an original work)#this production has all the qualities i love and think are unique to 2.5d stage plays.#plus i gotta give him bonus points for including a former otokoyaku in a 'boy band'#he probably knew what he was doing for the target audience lol#it was a full-course meal for bisexual women (and fukuzawa yuu in a dress was a cherry on top of the dessert)#abe alan#nanami hiroki#tateishi toshiki#fukuzawa yuu#takahashi ryoya#goto dai
