Business Overview

A theatrical performance based on Shuhei Yamazaki's two collections of poetry, "Rock 'n' Roll Seems to be Dead" and "Dance, Eat, Sleep".
By incorporating the words of poetry into everyday words and stories, this work describes people's emotions and relationships in detail. He adopted a unique style in which short stories of about five minutes were interspersed between the intervals of a single long story, and expressed the world of poetry sublimated as a theatrical work with an exquisite balance of poetic emotion and daily life.

Profile

Tomoka Iio
Born in Aichi Prefecture. He has been active in various fields including actor, scriptwriter, director, and advertisement art design while belonging to "The Fort where Ayako Yamaguchi lives" and "Iihenji" since 2018.
Starting from his interest in the connection between the space including the audience and the work, and the connection between the play and the body, he aims to create a work that moves back and forth between the micro and macro parts of the world.
He is characterized by dramas that deal with everyday events, and while he expresses casual interactions as they are, he works with an emphasis on creating works that allow his imagination to naturally extend into society and the psychology of people.
