Outline

This is the first new production in a year from Keimo noodle, a group that creates theater based on the concept of “an encounter with immoral fascination and awe, like Cup Noodles eaten late at night.”
Set in a near-future Japan where it is considered ethical to eat the meat of animals that have died naturally, this play tells an adapted tale of “Romeo and Juliet.”. Written/directed by Naonaka Saino, and performed by Gaku Ando, Naoko Ikari, So Omori, Mizuki Ono, Ryusei Sudo, Kazuki Hirabayashi, Kyono Hirose, Masanobu, Iori Miyamoto, Futoshi Moriyama, and Eisaku Yorita.

Profile

return2fictions
A theater production group jointly headed by actor Chiharu Nomura, DTP designer Himeno Nakajima, and playwright Naonaka Saino. Its concept is to create a ““home” for fiction which anyone can return to at any time.”
While the three live in the city in linear time, they aim to generate a festival atmosphere by reconsidering days as cyclical time through the existence of theatrical performance, in the way that traditional festivals create a sense of cyclical time for village communities.
