Business Overview
A revival of "Sacred Beast" which premiered at the Theatre Tram in 2017 as a winner of the Toyota Choreography Award in 2016. Since January 2019, they have toured around the country repeatedly, ending their final tour in Tokyo at the Setagaya Public Theater, which has the largest capacity. The theme of the movement is "insects," and it is a work that explores humanity from comparison with humans. In "The Leviathan" from the Old Testament, "The Leviathan" by Thomas Hobbs, and "The Leviathan" by Paul Auster, he conceptually grasped the concept of "nation" at the base of each work and incorporated it into his works. In addition, as a method of dancing, he uses a new approach to physical movement, such as dignifying parts and minimizing movements.
