この頃は母を亡くしたばかりで、パンクロックやサブカルチャーに明け暮れていた時期。
主人公ハムレットの人物像を、そうした角度から半ば強引に解釈しようと試みているところが、非常に面白く思えました。「パンク・ハムレット」。
少年テル・ノヂの「何かを表現したいが、何をすればいいのかわからない」という原初の叫び、もがき。今の私の芸の流儀・流派へと通じる系譜、その「青写真」そのものです。
彼のおかげで、作家としての自分のルーツを振り返ることができました。そんな彼の努力を評価し、ここに掲載します。
原稿用紙の懐かしさもさることながら、ページ番号をいちいち英語で書くあたり、「ボクは帰国子女です」とでも言いたげなアピールが鼻につく、生意気さ加減もまた、非常に恥ずかしいです。
ちなみに、担任の大塚先生の評価はBでした。
I found a book report I wrote on Shakespeare’s Hamlet when I was 14, back in 1986.
This was just after my mom died, when I was deep into punk rock and subculture.
It’s fascinating to see how I tried to interpret Hamlet through the lens of punk rock and subculture. In other words, “Punk Hamlet”.
Young Teru Noji’s primal scream and struggle: “I want to express something, but I don’t know how.” The very blueprint for the artistic path I follow today.
Thanks to him, I could look back at my roots as an artist. I’ll give the kid credit for trying and share it here.
The old manuscript paper feels nostalgic, but I’m also embarrassed by how obnoxiously cocky I was, writing page numbers in English as if to say, “Look, I went to school abroad.”
By the way, my homeroom teacher, Mr. Otsuka, gave it a B.
