Mother and I Hiding in the Attic -- 動画概要　2022/07/04修正（最終版） 原作：ぼくとママは屋根裏に隠れた―ホロコーストを生きのびた小さな子供の思い出―ノーベル賞科学者の祈り

impressions of a little child who survived the Holocaust to become a Nobel Laureate Roald Hoffman Roald Hoffmann: A renowned scientist and the co-recipient of the 1981 Nobel Prize in Chemistry, Dr. Hoffmann is also a poet and playwright. His play "Something That Belongs to You" was performed in Japanese at the Nagoya Institute of Technology as one of NITech's 111th anniversary commemorative events in 2016. The premier performance was preceded by a special lecture by Dr. Hoffmann in person. Something That Belongs to You": This is an autobiographical play by Dr. Hoffmann. In 38 short scenes, there emerges in the play a story of survival in World-War II Ukraine, of struggles to remember and forgive. The underlying themes are of coming to terms with great loss, and of the choices, always there, that human beings must make between good and evil in terrible times. 詩：ロアルド・ホフマン Roald Hoffman 訳：川島慶子　Keiko Kawashima （名古屋工業大学） 朗読：吉田栄作 Eisaku Yoshida 音楽：Shoko Nagai and Satoshi Takeishi 永井晶子　武石聡 撮影：安田光 照明：杉山泰則 （エスライト） 美術：清水基恵（テレビ朝日クリエイト） イラスト：東裏栄美 Produced by TOWERS Copy right All right reserved.

The worst curse for a demon who lives between the living
and the dead is the inability to die.
By stepping on a mortal's shadow, a demon can become a human.
And a demon can die.
On the other hand, a human whose shadow has been stepped
by a demon becomes a demon.
And he or she, now has to find and step on another mortal's shadow...

An adventurous sonic risk-taker, composer, and pianist, Shoko Nagai creates a new ensemble project that explores the mystery and the wonder of what lies at the essence of contemporary music in tAKE'N sHADOWS (KAGEFUMI). From the elements from contemporary western music and experimental electronic music, Nagai has crafted a white-hot sound ? searing and abstract ? that surrenders to the ebb and flow of time, evoking another realm, a time and a place, and evokes a dramatic new tale of suspense and intrigue.
