Profile

【 Iihenji 】
A theater group from Waseda University.
Rather than giving answers, I value the response between me and you, and I aim to perform a play as an "opportunity" to think together. I hope to find a point of contact between individuals and society through the script, which uses personal feelings and emotions as the starting point for questions and continues to focus on verbalizing them, and the production, which brings out the humor and loveliness of people who dwell too much.
