Profile

Tsuinosumika
Tsuinosumika creates contemporary drama based on scenes from everyday life. It accumulates the slight discrepancies and discomfort in communication with others, incorporating the things that are not verbalized but can be felt into the atmosphere, situations, and the flow of time in its stage performances.
Touching on the “absoluteness of loneliness” (being unable to be one person with others), the troupe stresses moreover that this applies equally to all mankind, in other words that there is equality in loneliness, making and conveying as its message that to be alone carries a sense of melancholic security.
