Business Overview
Aiming at 2020, the project aims to send messages from Asian artists to the world. Taiwan's homosexual Lin Meng-saku's "Cohabitation Time: The Brotherhood" is a work in which Taiwan is still under the influence of the Japanese colonial era, through the struggles of three gay men. In 2019, Taiwan became the first Asian country to enact a Same-Sex Marriage Law. I would like to introduce Taiwan's presence in Asia to both Japan and overseas visitors who are visiting Japan through this work, which was born from a minority group. A new play performance written by an up-and-coming creative team from Taiwan. Same-sex brotherhood is considered forbidden in Taiwan and is difficult to perform. In order to bring the scenery of Taiwan to Japan as it is, the cast and director are Taiwanese members, and it was rehearsed in Taiwan and premiered in Tokyo. It is performed in Chinese.
