Business Overview
Created a work-in-progress version of Lillian Hellman's The Children's Hour. With the theme that "the nature of human beings who try to exclude others they do not understand" has not changed even after 100 years, this performance was created and performed after a reading performance. One of the features of the creation is that after each performance of the reading performance, we had an "exchange meeting" in which we listened to the impressions and opinions of the audience, aiming to deepen mutual communication and understanding between the creator and the audience. In addition, from the viewpoint of creating works with a wide range of values and viewpoints, they invited participants from the general public and held a workshop performance called "Trial Performance." The opinions and performances of the members of the trial performance greatly contributed to the creation of this performance, and also helped to foster a new community for the participants.
