高森奈津美參演朗讀劇《請再呼喚，我的名字》——2026年11月東京、大阪公演
A Talking-Point Work That Keeps Being Restaged
The reading drama "Call My Name Again" has been performed repeatedly in Tokyo and Osaka since its premiere in 2018. The November 2024 performance at Sunshine Theatre brought together 39 voice actors and actors taking the stage in turn, sparking a huge response. In 2026, this work will open again with a brand-new cast. And for Ms. Natsumi Takamori's fans, the most exciting news is none other than—she will be participating in this performance.
Work Overview: The People Whose Names Were Taken Away
The story begins in a locked room. When they wake up, they find themselves trapped in a closed space, and no one knows why, nor who brought them here. The only thing they have in common is—they have all committed a crime.
Because of the crimes they committed, they were locked in a sealed room and stripped of their names, referred to only by management numbers. In search of freedom, they try to escape the sealed room, but amid despair, the one thing they truly long for is:
"My name—please call it once more..."
This is a story about names, identity, and redemption. A name is not just a form of address; it is proof that a person exists. When a name is taken away, what remains of a person? This work uses the immersive quality unique to reading dramas to lay this question bare before the audience.
