ruminant "paper balloon"
Business Overview
A short play written by Kunio Kishida in 1925 (100 years ago). A married couple in their first year of marriage on a sunny Sunday afternoon in an era of rapid change due to the introduction of capitalism and the progress of modernization. A husband who reads a newspaper and a wife who knits. A trivial conversation between two people whose eyes do not meet. From the "home = society" they live together, they head on a fantasy journey.

This is a gathering to perform modern plays by three people who belong to different troupes: Director Yoshikuni Matsuzaki (Tokyo Death Rock/Sanroku), Costume Yasuo Nagase (Neighborhood), and Producer Shotaro Kawasaki (Musical score painting). It attempts to "ruminate" on the author's view of modern society (the past) and to look at the present.
