SUMMARY:The Seven Gods
DESCRIPTION:What is the 「The Seven Gods」??… \n「The Seven Gods 」is「 Shichifukujin（The Seven Lucky Gods)」 \nShichifukujin are one of Japan’s most cherished cultural symbols\, representing seven deities who bring happiness and fortune to everyday life. The name itself reflects their nature: “Shichi” means seven\, “Fuku” means lucky\, and “Jin” means gods. \nLooking into their history\, although Shichifukujin are widely revered in Japan\, only one of them—Ebisu—actually originates from Japanese mythology. The remaining six deities have roots in India and China\, reflecting Japan’s unique culture of adopting and integrating elements from various traditions. \nA cultural practice known as Shichifukujin Meguri (Seven Lucky Gods Pilgrimage) also exists in Japan. This tradition\, typically observed from January 1st to 7th\, involves visiting shrines and temples dedicated to each of Shichifukujin to receive their blessings for the new year. \nIn this performance\, Shichifukujin wear masks\, symbolizing their divine personas. However\, beneath these masks lie their true emotions—hidden truths that play a crucial role in driving the story forward. \n\nSynopsis \nThe story takes place at a shrine on New Year’s Day. Shichifukujin have gathered to grant people’s wishes. As worshippers take turns offering their prayers\, a young girl suddenly bursts in. \n“Please save my mother—” \nHer wish concerns a human life. However\, the gods are bound by a sacred law: they must not interfere with human fate. Breaking this rule is forbidden. \nYet\, despite being gods\, they have emotions. Doubt creeps into their hearts—should they uphold the law\, or defy it? As the debate unfolds\, each god is forced to confront their own beliefs and make a choice. \nThen comes the moment of decision— \nAs gods and as beings with emotions\, what choice will they make? \n  \n※At the beginning of the performance\, there will be an opportunity to experience a traditional Japanese custom. Up to five audience members can participate on a first-come\, first-served basis. Participation is entirely optional\, so if you are interested\, please feel free to let us know at the reception desk. \n————- \nThe following items\, used during the performance\, are available for purchase at the venue. \n  \n\nTenugui (Japanese hand towel) featuring the design used in the performance\nFuroshiki (wrapping cloth) featuring the design used in the performance\nDrinks (including Japanese green tea)\nLight snacks (edamame\, dorayaki)\n\n  \nThese items will help you experience the atmosphere of the performance even more! \n※The available payment methods are: Cash\, Venmo\, Zelle \n  \n  \n \nCreative/Production \nDirector/Choreographer: Tamaki Horibe \nAssistant Director: Ryoka Matsumoto \nAssistant Director/Choreographer: Fuka Kojima \nChoreographer: Tomoe Tatewaki \nVocal Line Composer: Liana Kurogi \nCostume Designer: Miu Koike \nLogo Designer: Yuka Matsumoto \nFlyer Designer: Ai Tsujimoto \nProduced by: Edamovement Lab \nCollaborating Partner: wuhao newyork Tenugui Art \nOfficial Sponsor: Brooklyn Ball Factory \nHosted by: RESOBOX
