「とうとうたらりたらりらたらりあがりららりとう」と何かが流れてくるような言祝ぎで始まる能の演目「翁」は、あちらとこちらの世界をつなげる存在である。「翁」は、胎児や温泉、火山や天皇、「まれびと」まで、様々な存在として、子宮を通したあの世との交信、宇宙的な世界観、生殖の神秘、生と死の連続した運動など、神性を体現する。また、演目としては、芸能全ての根底に脈々と流れるドメスティックな自然観、宗教観、思想、天皇制などにまつわる国家観を体現するものとして受け継がれている。このプロジェクトでは、その「翁」に着想を得て、⺠俗学、文学、絵画、芸能または歴史から、人類を生物、無生物といった自然と同等に扱い、精霊や生物、無機物、言葉、所作をつなぐ生態系を紐解き、この先のエコロジーの可能性と、それが根付く古層の可視化を試みる。能という芸能が、⻄洋の主体的な人間中心主義を脱却する構造をもたらすものとし、また、歌舞伎町を「漂流した末に辿り着く街」とするならば、かつて能楽師が旅芸人のように村村を渡り歩いて繰り広げた「翁」という祝祭の催事をここに納めることは、土地に眠る精霊や神との再接続を図り、また、気候変動や環境問題に直面する現代における、自らの身体や土地に根ざしたエコロジーは何かと問い直す試みである。本展では、国内外のアーティストに限らず、食やインターネット、文筆家や演出家、動物の販売店や花屋など、多様な分野の表現者らの作品が、人間の歴史、環境、自然にまつわるファクトと結びつくことで、独自の世界観を提示する。また、10日間の会期中、『翁』と石牟礼道子作の『不知火』の謡とレクチャーによる公演、さらに、各界の異才とのトークも実施、現代と歴史、実戦と言論の双方から思考を深めるプログラムを展開する。
The exhibition titled “Toto-tarari-tarari-rarari-rarari-rarari-tou" is based on the oldest Noh play "Okina”. The exhibition explores a new perspective on nature from a unique standpoint by focusing on "Okina," which is said to be "everything that exists”, and on Noh plays performed by “Jingai”, non-human entities living outside of human realm. A variety of events will be held during the exhibition period, such as a specially re-edited performance of "Shiranui" by Michiko Ishimure, and a series of talks among cultural anthropologists and others. The exhibition thus aims to redefine the widely discussed concept of "ecology" in recent years. The Noh play “Okina”, beginning with a celebratory chorus of “Toto-tarari-tarari-rarari-rarari-rarari-tou", equivocally embodies divinity such as a form of communication with the other world through the womb, the cosmic worldview, the mystery of reproduction, or the path of life and death. It has also been passed down through generations as a performance that manifest the domestic view of nature, religion, ideology, and the national view related to the emperor system, which runs through the foundation of all the performing arts. Inspired by the unique Noh "Okina", this project treats human beings in the equal way as nature, both living and non-living, and fairly refers to multiple sources from folklore, literature, painting, performing arts, and history. It attempts to unravels the ecosystem intricatelyintertwinedbetween spirits, living beings, non-living things, words, and actions, and to excavate ancient cultural strata on which the seed of future ecology would ground.
Historically, Noh performers traveled from village to village to perform the Noh play "Okina”. Dedicating "Okina” in Kabukichō; “a city that you arrive at the end of drifting”, this project seeks to break free from Western subjectivist anthropocentrism, to reconnect the spirits and gods which sleep in the ground, and to quest for ecology rooted in our bodies and lands in the face of climate change and environmental contingency.
Exhibiting the works of not only Japanese and international artists, but also of those from diverse fields and backgrounds which do not necessarily fit into contemporary art, such as food, the Internet, writers, directors, pet shop, flower shop in context with facts related to human history, the environment, and nature, this exhibition presents a distinct world-view.
Furthermore, during the 10-day exhibition period, this project no only features performances of “Okina” and “Shiranui” written by Michiko Ishimure but also holds talk sessions among intelligentsia in various related fields in order to deepen our thoughts from perspectives of both the contemporary and historical, as well as of practices and discourse.
