- Seinendan
Seinendan is a theater company formed by Oriza Hirata in Tokyo in 1983. We have been pursuing a new theatrical style through the practice of Hirata’s “”contemporary colloquial theater theory.” His radically novel style has had a strong influence on Japanese theater since the 1990s as well as across literature, linguistics and language education. Since 2020, we have been conducting a diverse range of performance activities nationwide, with the Ebara Riverside Theatre in Toyooka City, Hyogo Prefecture serving as our new base.

Near future, summer. The lounge of a sanatorium on a plateau, where fatal patients spend their time.
Time flows slowly here, completely separated from the life down below. The meaning of waiting for death is casually unfurled on stage.
The patients’ concepts of death and time are different from that of the visitors.
