Sensei Akatsuki, who plays Camille Desmoulins in the Hoshigumi performance “1789” at the Tokyo Takarazuka Theater
A revolutionary at the Star Troupe performance “1789-Lovers of the Bastille-” (July 22nd to August 27th, Tokyo Takarazuka Theater), which depicts young people who throw themselves into the French Revolution aiming for an ideal society. Plays journalist Camille Desmoulins. At the time of the premiere in 2015, he played the role of the aristocrat who is the lover of Queen Marie Antoinette, but this time he is on the side of the people. “The stamina is completely different,” she says with a laugh.
Even among like-minded people, Desmoulins is said to be “a person who cherishes love.” He truly believes in the ideals of liberty, equality, and fraternity that seemed like a dream to the people of the time, and pushes forward. He is “a dreamer and may seem strange to others, but he has the power to turn dreams into reality.”
Singing and dancing, the populace explodes with energy. Leading the way, the highlight is the song “Take Weapon”, which is sung with a green leaf, a symbol of hope, held high. “We can change this world, we will not give in, and the strength wells up.
After regrouping from the month group last year, I have been trying to “talk to various people” without giving in to my shy personality. She says to herself, who is completely used to it, “It’s not the time to be calm!” “Hoshigumi has kindness, warmth, and energy. I want to give back my love to everyone.” (Maki Ishihara)
