Business Overview
The resistance to the violence of being seen from the outside (with prejudice) may be to speak out with trepidation from the inside. Invisible children, who are in a vulnerable position in society, have been portrayed as unseemly. Until now, I had focused on writing only the inside of them, but from now on, I would like to focus on the people on the outside who try to interact with them.

Profile
[Amai Yoho]
Based on her own experience as an abuse survivor, the director Yuki performs a play that refers to "invisible children" who are socially vulnerable. His style is characterized by his sugar-coated style in which he wraps facts (heavy reality) with entertainment (fiction) called theater, instead of imposing tragedy. The goal is to create a performance that is like a talisman for the people involved, and that reminds those who are distant from the people involved of the existence of "invisible children."
