Business Overview

Kokonoe Gorokichi and his group propagandists through the wilderness in the wind. I walk to Mohenjo-daro (Hill of the Dead), performing silly tricks for an unseen audience ...

A double feature performance of "Juka," which depicts the world after the nuclear war, and "Juka II," which depicts the time just before the nuclear war. These two films, which can no longer be described as fables in modern times, have a realistic look. The cast is independent of the gender and age of the characters, while remembering the people around the world who were forced to flee their homelands at the end of conflicts.

Profile

【 Rational freaks 】
It was established with the aim of "Seeking out what theater can do to help people connect, and what kind of expression can be used to do that?" by five people who chose to pursue a career in drama even though they graduated from Tokyo University of the Arts, which does not have a drama course.
While valuing the unique perspective of a woman in her 30s, she continues to consciously question what theatrical expression is required in Japan today, and challenges herself to reflect the times.
At the 31 Yomiuri Theater Awards, Ikuta Miyuki won the Outstanding Director Award. our association vol. 3 "Naval Battle 2023" was selected as an object.
