My partner and I will act out scene III of "Sound of a Voice"
I am very excited because this is the first time I have a chance to wear Kimono ( actually, I think this garment is Yukata because it comes in cotton fabric...)
I don't have enough time to prepare for my play as well as I hope, but I will try to practice my scene as many times as possible to make a good performance. I hope everyone will enjoy the play.
(This is me one year ago, this hair style made me look more like Japanese girl. If I have more time to prepare for my play, I will make my hair look like this)
The Sound of a Voice is a tragic story which is written by David Henry Hwang.
The story talks about Yukiko, a lonely woman who lives in a deserted house.Her life is so drear because people rarely come to her house. Everything changes when there is a man comes to her house. Although she has never had chance to know his name and the man is kind of a cold man, the appearance of the man makes her life becomes more meaningful. Day by day, they realize that they have common thinking and they become to fall in love with each others. Sadly, their love story can't have a happy ending. In the end of the story the woman is desperate when the man decides to leave because he thinks that she is a witch. Finally the woman's death comes in the end creates a tragedy for "the sound of a voice" .
My partner and me will act on scene III, the situation that the man takes off his shirt and helps the woman chops the wood. After he finished the work, the woman comes out and thanks for helping her. After that the man realizes that the woman is staring at his belly and he tries to make fun of it. The woman tells him that he shouldn't make fun of his body and she thinks that his body looks strong. That situation makes the man feel embarrassed so he wants to go back to chopping wood but the woman tells him that there is nothing left to chop and makes him sit down beside her. She tries to tell him that he should learn to love his belly but that makes the man makes more jokes with his belly. Finally, the woman puts her hand on his belly.
