Business Overview

Set in Japan in the near future, where it is considered ethical to eat the flesh of animals that have reached the end of their natural lives, the story of "Romeo and Juliet" takes place. Written and directed by Naoaki SAINO. The cast includes Gaku Ando, Naoko Isori, So Omori, Mizuki Ono, Rusei Sudo, Kazuki Hirabayashi, Hibiko Hirose, Masanobu, Iori Miyamoto, Futa Moriyama and Eisaku Yoda.

Profile

[Kaeru Fictionzu]
A theater production group co-headed by actor Chiharu Nomura, DTP designer Himeno Nakajima, and playwright Naoharu Saino. The concept is "Creating a place for fiction that anyone can return to anytime". As the three live in a city and live in linear time, they aim to bring about a festival by rethinking daily life as a cyclical time through the existence of a theater performance, just as a festival is for a village community.
