Business Overview
Takuaki Kumagai himself wrote, directed, and choreographed works that he called "dance plays," and he has produced many works that unfold stories with unique lines and creative choreography. This work expands the range of creative works to date, incorporating art and lighting into the story with a highly physical dancer. [Synopsis] Before long, people stopped thinking. No, have you become afraid of thinking? I don't think I can afford to listen to other people's opinions and feelings more than I need to and care about my own heart. The eight gather in a glass room created by their hearts. The days are filled with ups and downs as people learn about their shapes. A man who cannot get used to such days starts to walk toward his "truth" wrapped in oblate.

Profile
[Dancing Takuaki Kumagai Company]
In 2015, he started creative activities as the dancing Takuaki Kumagai Company. Although it is a stage work, it excels at cinematic scene description, and the performer who was speaking lines starts to move as if shaking, and before you know it, it becomes a violent 'dance' and sometimes shows emotional entanglement between people, and the next moment, he starts walking and talking as if nothing happened. The humming of the song becomes the music that moves the scene, and when the music stops, the dialogue that seems to throw a theme to the audience begins. It has established its genre as a "dance play" that guides the audience's gaze by using movements and lines that are far removed from everyday life, as if changing the angle of the picture.
