Business Overview

Minority Majority Travel, an art action unit, conducted the Tokyo Borderline Journey project in Tokyo from 2005 to 2006, and as a result, they have released "Nanatsu no Taisin," a stage performance with audience participation that makes people aware of the process of identification = discrimination. In this project, we made a short film based on the recorded footage and the interview. Released as a new work by film director Makoto Sasaki. A talk event with the cast and staff will be held at the screening. In addition, as a pre-event, a talk event inviting experts from inside and outside the field of performing arts will be held, and an archive for centralized management of materials from that time (Publications, reports, workshop and performance records, mailing lists, etc.) will be created.
