OriHime Project「Prince of star」

Clone Robot “OriHime”,was developed for people who have difficulty going out due to various reasons such as illness or disability.
14 operators of OriHime created a recitation drama “The Little Prince” with actor Ruka Ishikawa.
The representative line of “The Prince of star”, “You can’t see the important things”, asks for a new meaning through dialogue with the clone robot.

This documentary is also a must-see.

We would like to express our sincere gratitude from all the people who were involved for receiving this very honorable award, the second prize from among a lot of excellent works from all over the world.
In Kanagawa Prefecture, we are implementing a co-existence co-creation project where all people can participate and enjoy performing arts regardless of age or disability, and we have been creating various works. Encouraged by this award, we will continue to support the realization of an inclusive society from the aspect of culture and art.
We hope that you will continue to pay attention to the avatar robot OriHime and our symbiotic co-creation business.

Using the avatar robot “OriHime,” which was developed for people who have difficulty going out due to various reasons such as illness or physical disabilities, people with physical expression disorders were able to participate “The Prince of star” recitation play” as actors by remote control. By making use of voice and minimal movement, I felt that this work carefully explored expressive performance even within the limited movement of remote-controlled robots. I think it’s a wonderful work that not only for viewers but also performers themselves can feel the emotions they express.
