Business Overview
A one-woman play about a woman living in Tokyo based on the folktale "Tsuru no Ongaeshi" (The Crane's Return) and transposed to modern times. Three radio cassettes are installed on the stage, and while the "story of the crane returning the favor" is played from them, a similar "modern event" occurs on the stage. Instead of conveying the heavy theme as it is, he evolved the theme that he originally wanted to depict into a more prominent new production by combining the art that makes full use of grand devices to be enjoyed as entertainment, the changing costumes, the music that gives a sense of presence like a live performance in a theater, and the entertainment value of these plays.

Profile
【EPOCH MAN】
Actor Michinari Ozawa started this theater group in 2013. He not only performs but also self-produces scripts, direction, art and planning. One of the characteristics of this work is its style that seems to gouge out people's hearts, and its delicate, sticky and speedy production. It carefully depicts the obstacles and anguish that arise when a troubled person tries to move forward, while using techniques unique to theater to make the audience laugh. For each performance, he develops a production plan involving his favorite actors, staff members, and various friends he has met outside.
