Business Overview
Based on the theme of "Okina" (an old man), which is prohibited for women to perform in the traditional Japanese art of Noh, director Maxime Kürbers and actor Yuri ITABASHI played a central role in the creation. Creation and performance are carried out in the form of international collaboration between individuals without depending on organizations. He was able to create an epoch-making work that sought a future-oriented clue to the theatrical issues latent in "Okina" and Noh, and received high praise from audiences at its world premiere in Paris.
