Business Overview
Creation of Chiaki SHINODA's new program Mayokage began in 2021, focusing on the traditional wayang rwatan, which is still performed in Java, Indonesia, to ward off evil and evil spirits. Awarding off evil and warding off evil are deeply related to social conditions and communities. It was created with Barai Budaya Minomartani, a local community facility in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, referring to all kinds of amulets. This performance, created after the Work in Progress performance and exhibition performed in February 2023, premiered in Yogyakarta. The members are director Shinoda Chiaki, contemporary puppeteer Nanan Anant Wichakusono, music artist Nishida Yuri, and characters in the film were created by pixel art artist Takakura Kazuki. In Yogyakarta, performances were streamed online, online lectures were given by experts, and workshops on the work were held at nearby elementary schools. At the end of this project, a presentation of the performance and an exhibition were held in Tokyo.
