Festival Report フェスティバル レポート 2007

He could find his "teammate" in the crowd !!

What a friendly performer he is !
(Peppi the Clown)


The boys and girls never hesitate to go on the stage,
and return to their parents seats with cute baloon arts.
Everybody will have happy smile thanks to heart-warmed Peppi the Clown!

Although today's his show was held in Shiminbunkakaikan which was new spot since holiday,
his cheerful show changed the passanger to the audience.

Peppi's parents are both actor in America, and his sister is a dancer.
He had started mime since he was 9 years old.
His skillful technique of baloon making was awsome.
Every kids was so glad with colorful clown, flowers, bear, sords and so on.

We asked him how he choose an inmortant volunteer who would make the show succeed or not.
"If the first kid became shy, the next one would be the same, so I try to be really really

careful when I choose the first one. But Shizuoka people is relly nice!"
said he.

Not only kids, but adults can be got involved in his show.
Peppi picked up a man in the crowd lead him what to do.
Peppi made him take off his cap, a shirt and a shirt.....
after all he became naked to the waist!
I cannot believe there is the guy who can do like this to shy Japanese people.
He can always find his good "teammate" from his audience.

Everybody becomes friendly, because Peppi is so friendly.

Fantastic world with the attractive performer - Kanata

This is the 5th time for him to come to Shizuoka after 3 years!
Many fans should have waited for him to show up.
This time, he has changed his name from "Kyuto" to "Kanata".

Wearing black tux and hut, smiling gently, he handled 5 balls
skillfully as if they were a part of his body.

To the fantastic music, the highlight of his show began.
He made four colorful balls in a big transparent tube move around
without touching them. The audience wondered why were they
moving in the tube and nobody knows why.
But it was actually happening!

He changed his name because the name "Kanata" describes his
performance more. You shold experience the fantastic world as if many balls are
floating in the air !!

イザベラ、エキゾチックでストイックな空中パフォーム!♪

バレーとオペラ等様々なダンスのルーツを融合させた彼女独特のアクロバットパフォーマンス！
日本初公演という彼女は大の日本文化好きで念願の来日だという。
アジアの神秘に興味を持つ彼女の選曲も衣装も大変エキゾチックな仕上がり…♪
ポーランド出身の彼女の夫はロシア人のモダンダンサーであり、インスピレーションを受ける事は多々あるという。
無駄のないストイックな｢美｣を表現する彼女はシルクを操り、時には天女のように、また妖精のように宙をひるがえる。
実は屋外パフォーマンスは滅多にしないという彼女は、天候、特に風・雨で危険を伴うパフォームに一変するという。
しかし、日差しを受けた彼女の演技は力強く美しく本当にすばらしかった。

素敵なパフォーマーと幻想の世界へ～　宙－Kanata

5回目の登場！今回は「球斗」改め「宙（かなた）」となって出場です！
3年ぶりの彼の出場を心待ちにしていたファンも多かったはず。

黒のタキシードと帽子を身を包み、時折ステキな笑顔を見せながら、
5つのボール巧みに操ります。それらはまるで宙(かなた)の体の一部になったかのよう。

幻想的な音楽とともに、彼のパフォーマンスの一番のみどころが始ります。
透明な筒のなかの4つのボールを、宙（かなた）はボールに触れることなく自在に操ります。
筒のなかで何が起こっているのかは、誰にもわかりません。
観客の頭の中は「？？？」に…

自分のパフォーマンスのイメージにより近い名前にしたかったという彼。
いくつものボールが宙に浮いているかのような、宙（かなた）によるイリュージョンの世界をぜひ体験してみてください！
