Business Overview
Title "Up roar" Business Description [Ikuko Sekida] has been thinking about the duality of fiction and reality in theater since the group was formed. In this process, he proposes a new theatrical experience, "the realization of duality," which is obtained when the audience perceives fiction and reality equally. I believe that through this experience, a new perspective can be created that is not bound by the existing perception defined by its usefulness in current life. In order to create the theater-going experience described above, it is necessary to examine the relationships among the elements (Space, play, body, etc.) that make up a play one by one. In this project, we added music, a component of theater that had not been dealt with before, and considered new ways for audiences to realize this duality.
