Business Overview

The "White Theater Series" project is positioned as a starting point for more substantial "company activities" based on the activities of Delacinella to date. From a long-term perspective, as the company releases its works in the future, it aims to develop its body in line with that, and at the same time, to recruit and strengthen new members. In the first year, they start with small performances, gradually increase opportunities to present, and in the final year, they aim to brush up their activities and perform overseas. These results will serve as a foundation for future activities. The first performance of the Shiroi Gekijo (The White Theater) Series, which will be a project in its first year, will focus on physical expression with Dostoevsky's "Double Personality" as a subtext. The first month of training is devoted to a workshop to acquire a common language among the members, and the preparation period takes time. The first performance of the Shiroi Gekijo (The White Theater) series "Alter-ego" Director: Shuji Onodera Performers: Shiro Arai, Takashi Oshita, Yusuke Oba, Tomohiko Kyogoku, Hiroshi Tanaka, Yusuke Toyama, Hiroshi Nosaka, Yukina Kuno, Rina Sakiyama, Yuko Nishina, Ryo Hanajima, Ai Hamada, Yukiko Masui
