Business Overview
The performance of this play, which had been repeatedly postponed since 2020, was realized after further revisions of the play. In addition to the performance, there was also an online pre-event that people could participate in, and special videos related to the performance were released for a fee, so that people could enjoy the work more deeply. After the production period, the archive video was distributed. [Story] Oto, who is raising the daughter of her deceased sister, Yayoi, who is a single mother, and Rinko and Yuko, who are twins, go their separate ways in the wake of a sexual assault incident. Through the story of three generations of women in the Saiki family, "Oroika Song" confronts the problems that have been handed down to us and the problems we face today. I want to accept myself as a whole and not ignore the flaws I don't want to show to others.

Profile
【 Rational Weirdos 】
It was established with the aim of "Seeking what theater can do to help people connect, and what expression can be used to do so" by five people who chose to pursue drama even though they graduated from Tokyo University of the Arts, which does not have a drama course.
While valuing the unique perspective of a woman in her 30s, she continues to consciously question what theatrical expression is required or lacking in Japan today, and challenges herself to reflect the era.
