Profile
[Cherfitsch]
It was established in 1997 as a theater company where Toshinori Okada wrote and directed all works.
To contribute to the promotion of artistic and cultural activities. Aiming to create a play in response to contemporary society with a new method, it incorporates contemporary "language" and contemporary "body" into extremely everyday subjects to express contemporary social concepts more realistically.
The unique method of using words and body relationships is highly evaluated, and it is attracting high attention both at home and abroad as a theater company representing the present time. Since his debut overseas in 2007 with "March no 5 days" (winner of the 49 Kishida Kunio Drama Prize), he has performed in more than 90 cities in Japan and overseas. In recent years, there have been more opportunities to produce works commissioned by overseas festivals, further expanding the scope of his activities.
