---------------------
Tachibanagami, a poet and vocalist of the band "Uruseeyo.", has been performing "NO TEXT" since 2016.
With neither a book to read nor a script to follow, he takes to the stage barefoot, improvising and uttering words at high speed. This attempt goes beyond the existing frameworks of "recitation" or "(improvised) theater," and eloquently demonstrates, with a strange burst of humor, the existence of body, time, and words that are newly created when thought and speech are synchronized to the limit.

"TEXT BY NO TEXT," which Inunosenakaza will be publishing simultaneously as the fifth in its series, consists of four books produced in response to the three "NO TEXT" performances held in 2018.

"XT Note" is a new collection of poems by poet Yamada Ryota, a member of the verbal art unit "TOLTA" who is also involved in numerous installation performances, based on the theme of "performance/record."

Matsumura Shoko, leader, playwright and director of the theatre group "Momeras" and active as an actor in many productions, has written a passionate play titled "Thirst" that depicts mothers and children, disabilities and abuse, based on a real incident.

Tachibanagami, known for his poetry collection "Complex Fracture," in which his intense, spinning monologue dislocates words and meaning and exudes irreplaceable humor and poignancy, has come to his long-awaited new poetry collection, "SUPREME has come," his first in six years, by confronting the flood of words in "NO TEXT" himself, purifying and amplifying his voice and criticality.

Furthermore, the three "NO TEXT" performances that were the starting point and material for the project have been turned into text and laid out by Hiroki Yamamoto, the head of Inunosenaka-za. "NO TEXT Dub" also includes URLs where you can watch recorded footage of the three performances, as well as several essays by Tachibanagami related to this project.

Not "from play to performance," but "from performance to play." Or the location of newly written thoughts and utterances using several improvisations as material.
Four processes relating to the remixing of freedom and subordination are displayed side by side here in preparation for the next performance.
