Business Overview

In Gravity/Note, I have dealt with subjects such as “God ” and“ Man ”, “Nation ” and“ Individual ”, and “We ” and“ I ”. There is a problem of "modernization" as a passing low note. This time, by working on the text of Natsume Soseki, we will perform a play as a “place ” to think about things and feelings that have not been named even after modernization, and“ Japanese ” own identity. Original work: Natsume Soseki "Sanshiro" and others Drama: Ichikawa Taro (playwright, representative of "De") Composition and direction: Kashima Shosuke Actors: Takigoshi Norihiro, Tatsumoto Natsuyama, Hirai Mitsuko, Teiki Yuka Stage art: Fukashiro Mitsuhisa Lighting: Ando Naomi Costume: Tominaga Mika Advertising art: Aoki Yusuke Assistant director: Nagai Ayako Drama Turku: Sasaki Taku English guide: Ito Yoko Production: Honda Moe
