Description

Ko Murobushi <Theater> was envisaged as a substitute organization for Sebi. Murobushi was moving further and further by using a concept of “hybrid” as his motto, but simultaneously he started showing his rejective attitude toward a communal life: the collusive, extremely close relationships that often occur through maintaining a group, and irritation to its consequence that a group would end up being in corrupt relationships. According to Sanae Hiruta—who was a member of Dairakudakan and started Byakkosya with Isamu Ohsuga—Murobushi, when he was in Dairakudakan, at first tried to impressively solve a puzzle he was given, “but soon he tore it off with all his strength.” That person who had been hiding his exquisiteness behind such wildness aspired a volatile organization where each member lives in their own separated sphere, gathering for performances without anything but their body. Ko Murobushi <Theater> was the first step to that dream.
