Background

Rock Musical Theatre “Gaudi x Gaudi” is a bold new production written and directed by the acclaimed Nozomi Makino. The story centers on the legendary Spanish architect Antoni Gaudí during the autumn of 1925 in Barcelona. In a fantastical twist, an elderly Gaudí—consumed by his work on the Sagrada Família—encounters his younger, more hedonistic self, leading to a profound and “rock-fueled” confrontation across time about faith, art, and lost love.

The production marks a significant 9-year reunion between director Makino and Japanese rock legend Kenji Sawada, who stars as the elderly Gaudí. He is joined by co-star Daichi Watanabe (vocalist of Kuroneko Chelsea) as the young Gaudí, with a powerful rock score composed by Ryomei Shirai. This “Rock Ongakugeki” (music play) blends historical drama with high-energy musical performances, featuring a cast that includes Nakamura Ataru and Kushida Kazumi.
