Introduction
I’ve studied director’s course for play and musical in college, and I have started writing while I participated in some works as a staff of directing after that.
Momentum of Conception
The novel, 『Remembrance of Things Past (À la recherche du temps perdu)』 by Marcel Proust has a scene that the main character Marcel searches her memory of eating madeleine in her childhood. The word ‘Proust phenomenon’ came up as a meaning that smell is effective to bring back memories, so I’ve started to write a story with ‘Madeleine’s ‘memory’ and ‘love’ inspired by this ‘Proust phenomenon’.
How do you hope this work would be to the audiences ultimately?
I hope this work would be funny but have a message. The characters of ‘Orange Madeleine’ do not live their present lives very well because of their past incidents, so through this, I’d like to send a message that ‘the important thing is not your past but your choice you select in present’.
