Business Overview

It is a story of a brother and sister based on the fairy tale "Hansel and Gretel" and translated into the present day. The brother and sister, who were raised in a poor family and ran away from their parents, ended up in a villa of a rich man in a deep forest. When they look at the expensive things in the villa, their interest and desire overflows, but every time they touch the things, they are bombarded with memories of their scary parents who had fled. The place was a strange house where strange phenomena continued to occur. The story unfolds using stage art devices created by Ozawa himself to illustrate this mysterious phenomenon.

Profile

【EPOCH MAN】
A theater project started in 2013 by Ozawa Michinari, an actor who belongs to a fictional theater company.

One of the characteristics of this piece is its style that seems to gouge out the inner feelings of people (especially women), and its delicate yet tenacious production with a sense of speed.
It carefully depicts the obstacles and anguish that arise when a person with problems tries to move forward, while using a technique 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.
