Hydrogen 74 Percent
Launched in October 2010 by troupe leader Keisuke Tagawa, Hydrogen 74 Percent is a theatrical production unit without regular company members. The first work the company performed, “Mysterious Sphere X,” was selected for the Mitaka Next Selection 12th. “Who” garnered a prize at the 15th Playwrights Association Rookie Drama Award.
The troupe’s works depict selfish characters and the relationships of selfish characters who attempt to make others live according to what they think, in the belief that one person’s standards are common to every human being.
