N0 NAME Sound performance HratchArbach + Eisuke oooka 2024年10月27日　 亀山文化会館中央コミュニティセンターにて 亀山トリエンナーレ2024のオープニング(10/27)にニューヨークを拠点とする学際的なアーティストHratch Arbachとサウンドパフォーマンスを行いました。 Hratchと初めて会ったのは亀山市役所で彼の展示用の撮影に協力する事だった。彼はNYを拠点とする学際的なアーティストでアルメニア人とシリア人の両親のもとダマスカスで生まれ、そしてパリで微生物学の博士号を取得後、美術を学び、現在はNYで写真家としても活躍する異色の経歴を持つアーティスト。2015年以来、彼は手書きの数字を使って、1915年のアルメニア人虐殺150万人の犠牲者の命に対し静かな追悼の行為で犠牲者の人生を「N0 NAME」としてカウントダウンしてきた。自分も医療との関わりがあり、戦争の犠牲者を追悼するテーマを含む深いメッセージ性を持ちつつ、彼が語る歴史の継承を感じさせるものが自分にも共通する事がある。幼少期から白塚小学校の音楽教師だった叔母の戦争体験を聞いた話で、津市白塚の浜辺にて自分の生徒達と歌いながら浜辺を歩いていた時に米軍の空襲に遭遇し残酷な銃撃経験を何度か聞きました。その体験から叔母は空襲のトラウマで雷の音で寝込む習慣がありました。年月が経過しても心的外傷後ストレス障害（PTSD）を煩わしてたのかと今でも記憶にあります。後に広島、長崎、そして反戦をテーマに音楽活動し、現在でも世界の戦争や紛争、矛盾した歴史を探究しながら作品に投影させながら制作している。特にHratchがコンセプトにしているResilience(レジリエンス)は、日本の戦後や災害の復興、そして平和への祈りであり自分のコンセプトと共通し、戦争の犠牲者を数える数字は、普遍的な言語とし、過去の戦争犠牲者の日本人とその集団的トラウマの記憶を呼び起こし、共有された歴史的経験における回復力と活力を象徴しているのは共に被害に遭った両国が世界への平和を祈る壮大なエネルギーになるからです。 今回、彼とコンセプトを共有し亀山トリエンナーレ2024の為の特別なライブパフォーマンスでは、日本とアルメニアの2つの国の集合的な記憶の間のオープンな交換と共有を促進しNYとパリと亀山市にて2024年10月27日、亀山文化会館にて「N0 NAME sound performance」を実現する事になりました。

Hratchの「N0 NAME sound performance」は追悼するテーマを含む深いメッセージを教会にて祈りと共に音や香りが加わりながら非常に神聖で平和的なパフォーマンスを行っている。亀山トリエンナーレ2024でのHratcが描くパフォーマンスの物語は、彼が懸命に書き続ける執筆の音は会場に響き、亡くなった方々への祈りと鼓動が伝わり、自分は、それらの音に影響を受けながら鎮魂と祈りと爆撃を再現した即興演奏とコードで音を構築し、後半は森敏子さんとリリー・オカモトさんが語る声はルーペンセヴァグと栗原貞子の朗読された詩と重なりました。 最後にHratchは観客にピエール・フランソワ・レトゥエの詩によって作成された小さな紙のロールを全員、受け取とる体験の触覚的な断片で、片側は公演中に書かれた数字を運ぶ。もう片側はルーペン・セヴァグと栗原貞子の詩を贈りました。 「私たちはここにいます、私たちは到着します、印象的です。私たちの花崗岩の希望の印で、消えた無名に声を与えるために。」 ルーペン・セヴァグ

このパフォーマンスは映像と音を通じて感情や記憶を呼び起こすものだったのではないでしょうか。Hratchの作品には、日本語とアルメニア語でのカウントダウンや肖像写真の展示など、歴史的悲劇と継承、現代の生命をつなぐ要素が含まれていること、そしてサウンドパフォーマンスにて音の連なりやリズムが、過去の犠牲者への追悼と現在の生きる力の対比を表現されていた。訪れた人々にとっては、視覚的な展示とは異なる「聴覚を通じた歴史体験」として、亀山の街に響く音がアートの枠を超えて心に残る瞬間だったのではないでしょうか。 亀山トリエンナーレ2024にて境界を超えた平和的なパフォーマンスが行われた。

亀山市では、第二次世界大戦末期の1945年8月2日に、亀山駅から鳥羽方面へ向かう列車がアメリカ軍の戦闘機P-51による機銃掃射を受け、40人以上の死傷者が出た「亀山列車銃撃事件」が発生しました。

N0 NAME Sound performance HratchArbach + Eisuke oooka October 27, 2024 At Kameyama Cultural Center Central Community Center At the opening of Kameyama Triennale 2024 (10/27), we performed a sound performance with New York-based interdisciplinary artist Hratch Arbach. I first met Hratch at Kameyama City Hall to help with photography for his exhibition. He is a New York-based interdisciplinary artist with an unusual background, born in Damascus to Armenian and Syrian parents, and after earning a PhD in microbiology in Paris, he studied art and is now active as a photographer in New York. Since 2015, he has been counting down the lives of the 1.5 million victims of the 1915 Armenian Genocide as "N0 NAME" using handwritten numbers as a silent act of commemoration. I am also involved in the medical field, and while his music has a deep message that includes the theme of commemorating the victims of war, I feel that there is something in common with me in the way he talks about the inheritance of history. I have heard stories of my aunt's war experiences since I was a child, who was a music teacher at Shiratsuka Elementary School. While walking along the beach in Shiratsuka, Tsu City, singing with her students, she encountered an air raid by the US military and heard several stories of brutal gunfire. From that experience, my aunt had the habit of falling asleep at the sound of thunder due to the trauma of the air raid. I still remember that even after many years, she was bothered by post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Later, he started making music with themes of Hiroshima, Nagasaki, and anti-war, and even now he continues to explore wars, conflicts, and contradictory history around the world and project them into his works. In particular, Hratch's concept of resilience is a prayer for peace and the recovery of Japan's postwar and disasters, which is common to my own concept. The numbers that count the victims of war are a universal language, evoking the memories of past war victims and their collective trauma, and symbolizing the resilience and vitality in the shared historical experience, which becomes a magnificent energy for both countries that have suffered together to pray for peace in the world.

This time, in a special live performance for Kameyama Triennale 2024, sharing the concept with him, we will promote open exchange and sharing between the collective memories of the two countries of Japan and Armenia, and will realize the "N0 NAME sound performance" at Kameyama Cultural Center on October 27, 2024 in New York, Paris, and Kameyama City.

Hratch's "N0 NAME sound performance" is a very sacred and peaceful performance with a deep message including the theme of commemoration, with prayers in the church and the addition of sounds and scents. The story of the performance that Hratc draws for Kameyama Triennale 2024 is that the sound of his diligent writing echoes through the venue, conveying prayers and heartbeats for those who died, and I, influenced by those sounds, construct a sound with improvisations and chords that recreates the requiem, prayers and bombings, and in the second half, the voices of Toshiko Mori and Lily Okamoto overlap with the poems read by Roupensevagh and Sadako Kurihara.

Finally, Hratch presented the audience with a tactile fragment of the experience in which they all received small rolls of paper created by Pierre-François Lettoué's poems, one side carrying the numbers written during the performance, and the other side carrying the poems of Roupensevagh and Sadako Kurihara.

"We are here, we arrive, striking. To give voice to the vanished anonymous, with our granite sign of hope."

Rupen Sevag

Quoted from the N0 NAME website

This performance evoked emotions and memories through images and sounds. Hratch's work included elements that connect historical tragedy, heritage, and modern life, such as a countdown in both Japanese and Armenian and an exhibition of portraits, and the sounds and rhythms in the sound performance expressed the contrast between mourning the victims of the past and the will to live in the present. For those who visited, the sounds echoing through the streets of Kameyama were a memorable moment that went beyond the boundaries of art, providing a "historical experience through hearing" that was different from the visual exhibits.

A peaceful performance that transcended boundaries was held at Kameyama Triennale 2024.

On August 2, 1945, towards the end of World War II, a train heading from Kameyama Station towards Toba was machine-gunned by a US P-51 fighter plane in Kameyama City, resulting in the "Kameyama Train Shooting Incident" in which more than 40 people were killed or injured.

 A deeply quiet and transparent dazzling lyrical world. Relative location there is the darkness of the only one that exists in the bottom of my heart. A museum of sounds that just sharpen delicate vision and hearing, just standing and listening.
