Profile

【 Elephant 】
Formed as a physical theater company by Yuriko Oka and Hiroki Dezaki, who have completed the Theater Creation Academy and currently belong to Dance 01. He tries to create a work that brings people to the surface from the expression created by the confrontation between text and body.
The inaugural performance in 2024, "A Place Where the Sun Attaches" (Event Space Mizukami), focused on the unknown first half of Yanase Takashi's life, who was the driving force behind his work, moving freely between lines, physical expression and dance, and was well received.
