いつの間にか季節は秋の只中です。店頭にも柿、栗、ミカンが並んでいます。
さて、１１月の多賀あさひやはクラウン・ロネとジージの公演と講座で盛り上がります。今年のロネジジはいつもの青山でのライブや木曽でのクラウンキャンプの他に神保町にあるブックハウス・ひふみ座で複数回の公演、インドで開かれた国際クラウンフェスティバルに３週間の出演、そして９月の朝日新聞にロネジジが大きく紹介されたことで一気に注目の的となり東京と京都のライブはあっというまに満席、追加公演もキャンセル待ちとの嬉しい状況でロネとジージのブレイクの年となりました。
この二人、実はクラウン一筋の長〜い地道な歩みがあってのことで、彗星のように出てきたワケではないのです。日本に漫才、落語、狂言などの伝統的な笑いの文化があるように、欧米にもクラウンという笑いの文化があります。このクラウンで数々の世界的な賞を勝ち取った日本人のロネとジージが今年も多賀あさひやにやってきます。クラウン講座ではインドから帰ったばかりのロネジジからホットなお土産話も聞かせてもらえるかなと個人的には楽しみにしています。
古民家でのロネジジ公演はライブハウスや大きなホールとは違って皆さまのすぐ前で数々のクラウンの技や歌やダンスが観られます。
皆様のお申し込みをお待ちしています。（0749-48-0186 多賀あさひや）
It turned to autumn before I knew it. We see autumn fruits such as chestnut, persimmon and tangerine orange.
Now, November is an exciting month of clown Rone & Gigi's performances and talk at Taga Asahiya. This year became very busy for Rone & Gigi, because they had regular live performances at Tokyo and organized Clown Camp at Kiso in Nagano. In addition, they had more performances at the theatre of bookhouse in Tokyo, and were invited to the International Clown Festival in India to have clown performances with other award winning clowns from other countries. Rone and Gigi were also introduced widely as a "Front Runner" on the national popular newspaper. This newspaper article and photos got many people's attention and with this impact, the seats of R&G's live show were all sold out instantly! Therefore, I think this year was a break year for Rone & Gigi.
Rone & Gigi had been walking a long and hard clown road. In Japan, we have traditional laughter such as Rakugo, Manzai and Kyogen, and Clown is a Western laughter culture. Although Clown is not very popular in Japan yet, Rone & Gigi got first or second place in the international Clown Contest in the past and I am very proud of them.
Rone & Gigi will be coming to Taga again and give clown performances and a talk. I am looking forward to hearing about the experience in the Clown Festival in India at their clown talk. The Clown Show at my Japanese house will be very different from the stage in the big hall or live house in terms of the light effect and small number of staff, but you will watch their skilled clowning, songs and dances just in front of you.
Please make a reservation for their performance!
