Business Overview
A new dance work by Kedagoro based on Japan's national sports festival. Kedagoro, who has been involved in the creation of historical and social events, focuses on the existence/concept of the "Empress," and using this as a starting point, confronts Japan's "national polity" from the direction of the day after tomorrow, moving between fiction and reality related to the national polity theory. Kedagoro's "National Structure Theory" disturbs the existence of modern Japan.
