Things I want to think about now that the number of people who continue and start theater has begun

‍

All members are talking and talking events by the artist group “Gekidan Awai” born in 1998. The flag was announced in 2018, and all members are in their 20s, and they, who are making future plays, said, “I won that number of students starting and studying to do theater is after the COVID-19 pandemic. We've also seen people quit around us, and we feel firsthand that this is the case all over the country. Strongly, I want to make it an opportunity for us and others to think together about what kind of method is good if we continue to perform in the future.”

Isn't it possible for a theater company to continue in the same form as it is now

‍

The theme is “I WANT TO THINK ABOUT THE NEXT 100 YEARS OF THEATER.” Projects discussed in by the creation members of the troupe due to their concerns include talk events where French philosophy led Tona Kiyotetsu discussed about “the “Troubles of People “Gathering” from a conceptual point of view, and where video director Sudo Takanori discusses about new ways to use “media” in theater through group work. THE SELECTION OF PEOPLE IN THESE DIFFERENT WAYS DESIRE TO “THINK ABOUT WAYS TO EVOLVE AND CONTINUE IN A DIFFERENT WAY THAN BEFORE,” WHICH THEY FEEL “MAY HAVE DESIRE A Period where they cannot continue in the same form as the current Japanese theater company system.” Takamoto Ayae, One of the Organisers, said, “When I go to an overseas theater festival, people from not limited to having a conversation without any discussion. THE EXPERIENCE OF BEING ABLE TO CONFIRM SOMETHING LIKE MY OWN OWN OUTLINE IN THAT CONVERSATION WAS THE TRIGGER FOR THIS PROJECT.” “I THINK THIS PROJECT WAS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO THINK ABOUT WHAT WE WANT TO DO, AND THE ENTERS THAT ARE BORN THERE WILL CHANGE SOMETHING IN THE FUTURE.”
