踊る劇場

踊る劇場

地方で営業するストリップ劇場で、裏方スタッフとして勤務した経験を綴ったエッセイ本です。 B6サイズ / 32ページ ---------------------------------------------- 地方にある小さなストリップ劇場で、四年間、投光スタッフとして働いていた。投光とは業界用語で照明を指す言葉だが、実際には、音響操作や場内アナウンス、受付のもぎり、楽屋の掃除など、裏方業務のほとんどを担っていた。 劇場で過ごした日々は、大きなトラブルや特別な出来事に満ちていたわけではない。むしろ、何気ないエピソードのほうが鮮明に思い出される。淡々と、粛々と、ごく当たり前に鼓動を続ける劇場で生きた四年間は、私の人生を豊かに変えていった。 裸の女性にスポットライトを当てる、ストリップ劇場。ここに綴るのは、そんな少し特別な場所で積み重ねられた、私にとっての日常の記録である。 (本文より抜粋)

Underground Explorations

Underground Explorations

This is a reportage book visiting various underground spots. I wrote it with respect for underground cultures that continue to live quietly, hidden from society. SM bars Shibari (bondage) workshops Happening bars Pink cinemas B6 size / 34P ---------------------------------------------- Sometime before the COVID-19 pandemic, on a whim I had the opportunity to visit a place called a “happening bar,” which I had long been curious about. As someone who enjoys exploring underground spaces, it was a kind of challenge. A happening bar is a uniquely Japanese type of adult entertainment venue where people with sexual tastes or interests gather and can naturally engage in activities with other customers. As the name suggests, it’s a place visited in the hope of sudden happenings, commonly referred to as a “hap-bar.” (Excerpt from a Shibari workshop)
