【BED&MAKINGS】
BED&MAKINGS is a theatre company founded and run by an actor, Koichiro Tomioka and a playwright and director, Mitsunori Fukuhara. Tomioka and Fukuhara, considering themselves as shy but idealists, set up the company to try making this world full of contradictions easier and better for us to live. A name of the company comes from “bed making” and they compare theatre to bed. It means that what they’d like to achieve is to give life to theatres and also to create space for theatre from non-theatre space. Other than ordinary theatre space including round theatre, they have produced the shows at warehouse, outdoor space. And the theme of their creation is “restoration of imagination.”
