Business Overview
[Sekita Ikuko] has been demonstrating the ideal form of theater called "theater with a wide-angle lens" since its formation. "Theater with a wide-angle lens" aims to make the actors' bodies and the walls and floor of the theater look equivalent to the audience, and as a result, it is an attempt to create a theater that dissolves once the distance between things and others, or the perspective of things, which are prescribed based on usefulness, and acquires a new viewpoint of the audience. In this project, "wide-angle theater" is analyzed from the perspective of the mutual relationship between "language" and theater through the presence of several writers. Language has a great influence on theater. For example, a single line can define a role and set an environment. A certain control reaches the consciousness of the audience as well as the actors. The audience has no room to consider what the play prescribes. Then, the duality of the original play goes out of one's mind. In this project, we will consider this again, and aim at the discovery of new communication on perception by obtaining perception without control by language.
