You know, every so often I rewatch Llamas with Hats and I’m reminded how much of the dialogue reminds me of stuff Erik and Nadir might say to each other.
Like convince me that this doesn’t sound like a conversation they might have:
Nadir: Erik! There is a dead person in our house.
Erik: Oh, hey, how did he get here?
Nadir:Erik.What did you do?
Erik: Me? Uh, I didn’t do this.
Nadir: Explain what happened, Erik.
Erik: I’ve never seen him before in my life.
Nadir: Why did you kill this person, Erik?
Erik: I do not kill people. That is, that is my least favorite thing to do.
Nadir: Tell me, Erik, exactly what you were doing before I got home.
Erik: Alright, well I was upstairs.
Nadir: Okay.
Erik: I was sitting in my room.
Nadir: Yes.
Erik: I was reading a book.
Nadir: Go on.
Erik: And, well, this guy walked in.
Nadir: Okay.
Erik: So I went up to him.
Nadir: Yes.
Erik: And I, uh, stabbed him 37 times in the chest.
On April 29, POTO Japan celebrates its 34th anniversary. The production is currently playing in Osaka, until November 30. Susumu Kato (Raoul) held a speech on behalf of the cast and crew. ( x)
How nice that the patron of the opera house gets to make a speech for once. And not the maniac who ruined the chandelier and killed the staff.
