Profile

noruha
noruha is a theater project started in 2018 with Kageyama Kishodai as its representative. The project pursues theater-based works without compromising the “freedom” and “richness” of everyday life, extending its methods to a collective approach with the aim of creating “time for multiple artists and performers to be on an equal footing together in a place where they can be where they belong.” Regarding everything from visiting the theater to leaving as a holistic experience of “theater,” project members also engage in activities that go beyond staging theatrical works, such as publishing booklets/magazines, and hosting events like symposiums, etc.
