Business Overview

Independent Theater Oji's opening performance.
The story follows four high school girls who set out on an old fishing boat in search of the Voyager 3 space probe after it crashed in the Pacific Ocean. A storm takes them out of their way and they drift across the endless ocean. Friendship and solitude intersecting in a limited space and time. What did they find at the end of their shipboard life?

The stage uses visual techniques that leave a strong impression and provide the audience with a deep sensory experience. He tries to express a sense of scale that goes beyond the confines of a theater by depicting the stage in a three-dimensional and symbolic manner, assuming a different meaning for something that is universal.
