The musical "The Imprisoned Women" depicts the pre-war prison life of Yamashiro Tomoe, a Showa-era women's liberation activist and novelist. Yamashiro Tomoe is also known as the editor of "The Cart Song" and "In This Corner of the World."

This performance: Side B Front Populé is a spin-off of that work, with Yamashiro Tomoe's husband, Yamashiro Yoshimune, as the protagonist. It is a musical depicting the Joban coal mine strike by Yoshimune, who died young, and the activities of young female workers. Gospel, coal mine workers' songs, and the sound of J.S. Bach are combined, and the passionate singing voices of veteran actresses who have been active in Warabi-za, Shiki Theatre Company and Shingeki Theatre Company, as well as young talents, enhance the drama. Enjoy the charm of the musical with its danceable style and live feel, including live music. This is truly the birth of the Showa-era Les Misérables. This performance, featuring an all-female cast, portrays the history of those who sought women's liberation and pursued the joy of living. Enjoy and learn about it.


*The performance at the Akasaka Sacas special tent on October 11th will be an outdoor tent performance.
