On June 18th, at Ebisu The Garden Hall, the Tokyo homecoming performance of the android opera “MIRROR,” composed and produced by Keiichiro Shibuya, took place under the title ANDROID OPERA TOKYO. This work is a large-scale theatrical production that was first staged in 2023 at the Théâtre du Châtelet in Paris. It features a combination of the android, an orchestra, Shomyo (Buddhist chant), Shibuya’s piano performance, electronic music, as well as video and lighting. The work was initially presented at Expo 2020 Dubai in 2022 and was later re-created as a 70-minute piece. After its premiere in Paris, this is its first performance in Japan.
UPCOMING PERFORMANCE
MIRROR Ghost in Grand Palais, Paris in France (14/03/2025)
On Friday, March 14th, Keiichiro Shibuya will hold a solo concert "MIRROR Ghost" at the Grand Palais, Paris. This concert is part of the closing events for Chiharu Shiota’s exhibition “The Soul Trembles,” which will conclude on Wednesday, March 19th.
At the opening of the event, Shibuya’s sound installation work “Abstract Music,” which realizes “an ever-changing soundscape that never repeats,” will resonate throughout the venue. Alongside this, a poetry reading will overlap with the music, generated by an AI program created by the up-and-coming artist Hirofumi Kishi, which continuously produces poetry. Audience members will be able to walk freely through the space, experiencing a new form of art blending music and AI in the unique setting of an art museum.
