The end dose not end

Ghosts are singing about hunting and nomadic people’s 20th century. That tribe has lived in Siberia along right side of Arugn river. They call themselves “Evenki”.
Other Ghosts who had died at Sonezaki river are going along the river. Can they arrive at the sea? Or can they not arrive at anywhere? This plot is based on Japanese traditional Ningyo joruri play Shinjyu Ten-no-amijima. It is a famous story of a lovers’ suicide that was written by Chikamatsu Monzaemon in the Edo period. 
This fictitious North East Asia folk-opera was composed and directed by Jun Kawasaki.which were  realized by singer ,dancer,actor and traditional Japanese puppet operator.
 “Be counter to songs, but to songs(Uta to gyaku ni Uta ni)”. It is the words that Japanese poet Touzaburou Ono left. The verbal activity begins with conflict with impossibility of making songs. This is a reactionary route to opera.
