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.
