Business Overview

Based on the classic Walden by American writer Thoreau, they performed Life in the Forest. This work was created through collages of various texts and formats. By mixing various forms on the stage, Walden's theme of "How people live" is expressed from multiple perspectives. The main performers are members of Yawn ga Utteru. It was produced in the style of a joint production in which composition and direction were jointly performed. The performance was held to further refine the yawning but ongoing collaborative method. Concretely, the purpose was to record and open the production. During the performance period, he held a workshop to think about "how to make a play" and thought about how to make a play with people who are not professionals of theater.
