Profile

[Circling the Gi]
'Even' means hitogata and dolls, and 'gi' means play and drama. This project is a series of interviews, reports, and creative performances about the “guugi ” (puppets), an act in which people create puppets, manipulate them, and show them to others. Starting from playing with dolls in children's rooms, NAGAI Nozomi, a puppeteer and puppet artist, continues his journey with the idea of "a friend or doll that reflects human life," and Fujiwara Kana, a playwright and director, who continues to think about and practice the function of in various places, began their activities in 2024.
