Business Overview
This is a new stage work that is based on the video and performance "After Film" released in August 2018, and the solo performance by Mikasan Arata at "Ningen Restaurant" (planned by Chim↑ Pom) held for a limited time in October of the same year. In order to find ways to intervene as an expression in the urban landscape where temporary construction spaces abound in preparation for the Olympics, a theatrical performance set in an imaginary future was performed at the contemporary art gallery ANOMALY. The cast includes Fukasawa Shiho from Nutomic, Kikuchi Atsuko, who has been making appearances on stage and in movies, Tachikawa Kiichi, who has appeared in and directed Mini Skull Things, and Yamato Fujiya. Costume production was handled by PUGMENT, with music by Tomohito WAKUI and art by Kenta NISHIMURA, creating a unique space that goes beyond the framework of contemporary theater.

Profile
【 NIKASAN 】
With the theme of "visualizing the premonition of modern fear," Arata Mino produces mainly using performing arts and photographic/visual media. This theater collective was established in 2017. By capturing the small gestures of the performers recorded in photographs and videos, they extract and create "horror stories" as political and social backgrounds. It is characterized by visualizing "others who are not here" through photographs and images, analyzing them, and expressing modern "premonitions of fear" through stories.
