Business Overview
Taking Ikegami, Ota Ward, as the stage where new town development is increasing, this project is carried out continuously with the aim of establishing an art context in the region and fostering a momentum for citizens to actively participate in art. It utilizes the local culture, bases, human resources, and networks. In the spring session, we held "Let's become translucent with Cherfitsch!" a workshop for children by actors using the theater method at Hisamatsu Onsen, a public bath that has been familiar to the community. Ikegami is also a traditional temple town, and one of the many temples, Honmyoin, held a screening of the video play "Mt. Eraser is Watching." After the screening, a talk event was held with the chief priest, Fumihide Hayami, and the artist, Tetsuhei Kim, who is the cenographer of Mount Eraser. Events in Ikegami will continue in the summer session. - Become translucent with Cherfitsch! Saturday, March 19, 2022 ・ "Mt.
