Business Overview

Ko Xingjian's "Fugitive" was a film based on the Tiananmen Square Incident, but he interpreted it as a contemporary work (for the generation born after the Heisei era) depicting humanity in a closed space rather than a topical documentary film, and he directed it making full use of other fields of artistic expression such as images and books.

Profile

[Sannin no Kai]
Director Okuda Chiei forms a unit with two artists he wants to work with each year, and performs existing plays. His subjects were not only actors, but also all people whom Chiei OKUDA came to know in his life, such as directors, translators, dramas, filmmakers, artists, and producers. Based on Okuda's definition that a play cannot be done by one person, that two people are uncomfortable, and that a relationship can only be created when there are three people, the aim is to create a play through collaboration with people from various professions, including actors.
