Business Overview
The "Triple Painting Series" is inspired by a set of three paintings by artist Francis Bacon. Just as he criticized that paintings are covered by stories, this series aims to explore a new way of performing that is not based on stories. At present, it focuses on the problem of "readable gestures" advocated by Bertolt Brecht, and attempts to discover gestures that can read the state of life, and to depict the power that works in life by using them. In “Yoma-tachi, ” objects and furniture are used to explore how they affect a person's body and gestures. By reexamining the relationship between people and objects, we distance ourselves from the anthropocentric narrative and work to find problems that have been left out of the narrative. Written and directed by Naoya GATSUMA, choreographed by Kana ISHIDA, performed by Hinako KAJINO, Naoki KUZE, Ryo SUGITA, Moe YOSHIDA, Kazuya MATSUHASHI, produced by Moe TANAKA, Shoki MASUDA, assistant to the recording mymo, Yuka NAKAGAWA

Profile
[Triad series]
The term triad is taken from a series of triad paintings by the artist Francis Bacon. He criticized that pictures are covered with stories by separating the iconography of the figures by the form of triple-panel pictures. But if the relationship between the three pictures is not a story, what is? What kind of order is there?
The Trilogy Series is an attempt to explore a new order in the performance scene, starting with Bacon's works.
