【Kyoto】KIPPU2025 Tremolo 'Coriolanus'
Summary
The theatre company Tremolo will perform Shakespeare's historical tragedy 'Coriolanus' as part of the ROHM Theatre Kyoto x Kyoto Art Center U35 Creative Support Program. Directed by Aya Hayasaka, the production explores the multifaceted figure of General Coriolanus in 5th-century BC Republican Rome. By examining the diverse perspectives on Coriolanus—whether he is a representative of corrupt leadership or a strong leader fighting dysfunctional democracy—the performance aims to reflect on the unchanging nature of human existence and illuminate contemporary Japanese society. The performances are scheduled from March 13 to March 15, 2026, at the ROHM Theatre Kyoto North Hall.
