A one-act play by Kishida Kunio. It was published in the May 1925 issue of Bungeishunju. It was first performed the following May by the Aoitori Theatre Company at Tsukiji Little Theatre. It is a Sunday and an ordinary young couple has been married for a year. They are hopelessly bored. So they indulge in the fantasy of a luxurious trip. When they suddenly become aware of reality, they cannot help but feel a void in their hearts. "Sundays are scary." The curtain falls as if to relieve the anxiety in the couple's hearts by poking each other with paper balloons that have flown in from the house next door. Not only does it portray the delicate psychology of the man and woman through the skillful technique of dialogue, but it also creates a unique dramatic space through rich theatrical imagery. This is one of the practical works of the author's theory of theater.

岸田国士(きしだくにお)の一幕戯曲。1925年(大正14)『文芸春秋』5月号に発表。翌年5月に青い鳥劇団が築地(つきじ)小劇場で初演。結婚後1年の平凡な若夫婦、日曜日であるが、どうしようもなく退屈である。そこで2人は思いきりぜいたくな旅行の空想の遊戯にふける。ふと現実を意識するとき、互いに心の空白を感じないではいられない。「日曜日はおそろしい」。2人の心の不安は、隣の家から舞い込んできた紙風船を突き合うことによって解消するかのように幕が下りる。巧妙な対話させる術によって、繊細な男女の心理を描いているだけでなく、豊かな舞台的イメージによって、独自の劇的空間をつくっている。この作者が主張する演劇論の実践的作品の一つ。 [加藤新吉] 『『岸田国士全集1』(1954・新潮社)』 出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
