2025 SPAF Metamorphosis of a Living Room

A sensorial tension between theatre and music, unfolding a new dimension of the living room

<Metamorphosis of a Living Room> marks the first collaboration between internationally acclaimed theatre director Toshiki Okada and composer Dai Fujikura. The two artists, each with a distinct artistic language, experiment with a new stage format that traverses the boundaries between theatre and music.
The piece begins with a family facing forced eviction, but soon takes a turn as a new catastrophe emerges—one that calls our anthropocentric view of the world into question.The actors perform a choreography that is based on criteria separate from the narrative, and it gradually transforms. Likewise, the musicians deconstruct or expand the sound, transforming the music itself.
Six actors from theatre company chelfitsch and SYMPHONIC ARMONIA, seven contemporary music performers from Korea come together on stage to create a unique theatrical language. In the process, reality and fiction, movement and sound, speech and music intertwine, opening up a horizon of sensory experience.
<Metamorphosis of a Living Room> blurs the lines between story and sound, inviting the audience into a world of unfamiliar sensations within a familiar space. On this stage, reality and fiction overlap, metamorphosing the living room—an everyday space of a lifetime—into an entirely new dimension.
