Business Overview
Choreographer Hiroki Aoki started the dance group Sokerissa with people who experienced street life in 2005 in search of expression born from "the body living in the present"! Held a street performance tour in the suburbs of Tokyo. The aim was to provide dance arts to the poor and the general public who do not have the opportunity to experience the arts, and to establish a form of payment by throwing money in which the value of money after viewing is left to each spectator and the value of money in each person's living environment is confronted.
