Description
This play was carefully created especially for children by Makoto Sato, a director versed in the appeals of theatre (he is also the art director for Za-Koenji Public Theatre); tupera tupera, the popular duo that has produced picture books including "Make Faces" and "Panda Public Bath"; and Keiko Takeya, a dancer who explores the possibilities of free physical expression.
