Business Overview
A performance held at the banquet hall of Kamata Onsen in Ota Ward, Tokyo. It has a function that is not usually a theater, and it creates an extraordinary story space with limited materials in a place that is friendly to people other than theater fans. The performance consists of a section in which the performers recite live narratives to the audience seated in the tatami room, a dance mini-show by the performers, and a two-person performance by the Takenaka and Mikawa families. The audience is close to the performers psychologically and psychologically, rather than looking into the theater from the outside, but the content of the two-person show, which is about loneliness, escalates to an underground level and becomes the opposite of the familiar situation in the banquet hall.
