Business Overview
Okada Toshinori has changed his attitude toward theater since his 2012 release "Current Location." There is no doubt that the earthquake and the social situation in Japan caused by it have had an impact on this. His latest work, “Ground and Floor, ” depicts the story of the dead and the living in Japan in the not-so-distant future. Furthermore, in order to further develop the relationship between music and performance that he has been working on so far, he will take on a new approach and aim to create a "musical theater" that only Cherfitsch can create. It is a new innovation of Toshinori Okada and Cherfitsch, and they are scheduled to tour Europe in seven cities.
