Following its European tour, the highly anticipated “New Music Theatre” production comes to Japan!

This collaboration marks the first between Toshiki Okada and Dai Fujikura, world-renowned directors and composers in their respective fields. The production conjures a fictional space through the juxtaposition of theatrical and musical performances on the stage. As the ensemble's performance and the actor’s words resonate with each other and their stories gradually merge, what sorts of effects and changes will the words and sounds bring about...?
