Profile
[Futon]
In 2011, it was formed mainly by Hiroki Tokuchi. His recent works are mainly based on Greek tragedies and classical plays such as Shakespeare. It is characterized by a text that mixes the world view of classic plays with contemporary social issues and pop culture images. By consciously bringing the boundary between reality and fiction to the present, his style actively asks the audience about the problems surrounding people today.
