歌舞伎D-13

1–2 MIN + FULL TRANSCRIPT

VOICE FROM D-13

One to two minutes of voice, kept for good.

VOICE FROM D-13 pairs one-to-two-minute voice recordings by Ichikawa Danjūrō XIII with a full transcript of every word. Recorded when the schedule allows — in the small gaps around performances and journeys — each voice is kept here as a lasting reference, not a post that scrolls away.

Voices in Preparation

The items below are thematic frames awaiting recording. Actual words will be published only after recording and Danjūrō's own confirmation.

Before the Curtain Rises

A one-to-two-minute frame for words recorded in the dressing room before a performance — what passes through his mind as curtain time approaches. Recording will follow the performance schedule; a full transcript will accompany publication.

A full transcript will be published together with the video.

Notes from the Road

A frame for short recordings made while travelling — thoughts that surface on the road, discoveries in each town, kept in his own voice on the spot. Following our 'record when we can' principle, five spare minutes in transit become the studio.

A full transcript will be published together with the video.

On the Exhibition

A frame for words about his work beyond the stage — paintings, oshiguma face-prints, photographs of empty theatres. Why paint? Why photograph a theatre with no one in it? Recordings will be made to coincide with exhibition opportunities.

A full transcript will be published together with the video.

Full transcript

Every voice will be published together with a full transcript, so that the same words can be read as text wherever listening is not an option.
