Business Overview

"A Place of Sunshine"
[Script] Masaru Ikeda [Composition and direction] Motohiko Tateno/Fumio Sato

A theatrical performance created in collaboration with former participants in a theater workshop for young people who are called "hikikomori" and find it difficult to live, adults who support and support them, and new participants and members of a theater company, the Gong Theater Company. Through theatrical expression, I wanted to think together about "what it means to live a truly human life" and contribute to a more tolerant society in a modern society where it is easy to feel difficult to live.
