Profile

[Planet D]
A small gathering of treetops to make plays. Based on his original editorial ideas, he seamlessly combines plays by multiple writers and performs in a bookstore, mixing and reading large volumes of books like a DJ. Minorities in various fields support his approach of gently releasing "works that are difficult to separate."
