Business Overview

I created it to find "What does it mean to live together?". This is because Hirokawa, the chairperson of the event, feels that the relationship between husband and wife and the experience of seeing a play at a theater are being reconsidered after the COVID-19 pandemic, which has become a time to reconsider human relationships. For this reason, he performed the play to discover the value of "living together in spite of it" through his work. Hai Bai's Hideto Iwai was the first Japanese director to give permission to perform this play. maars inc. In order to realize its mission of "Enriching your life by being close to theater," it aimed not only to "see" the production but also to "experience" it through practice observation and "return party.".
