Business Overview
In the near future, the average life expectancy of the human race has fallen to 50 years. People began to fear an untimely death, crave the meaning of life, and seek 'beautiful stories' about the way they died. They were hailed as "writers of beautiful stories" who created them at the request of their clients, and the popular ones made huge fortunes. One day, an Ogosho biidanshi consulted a novice poor biidanshi. "Will you make the most frivolous story for me?" An encounter between two people creates a beautiful and terrifying story that shakes society ――――― Social entertainment that questions the significance of fiction in this day and age where SNS has become popular and there are 100 million artists, and reality is surpassing fiction. In the distributed performance which is performed together with the performance, we tried to make the theater barrier-free by using subtitles and sign language, taking advantage of the characteristics of the distribution.

A production unit with Takaha Aya serving as writer, director and presiding director.
Started at Waseda University in 2005 and was highly praised both inside and outside the university.
