Business Overview

Every 4 years since 2004, the theatrical company "Hakobune" has created 3 works that have created a sensation by bringing a strange world with disturbing delusions into "reality" on the stage. They have been tightly packed into a "box" and created a new work. In addition, the marvelous stage setting that spreads the worlds of these works horizontally and vertically is a must-see. The endless loop between the 3 + 1 worlds and spaces will be an experience that will immerse you in dread and delight. This work, which can be said to be "Alice in Wonderland" of Penino style garden theater company, is surely vivid, earnest, and loving. Writer/Director: TANINO CLOUR Actor: Ikuma YAMADA, Issei IIDA, Taeko SEGUCHI, Momoyo SHIMADA
