Image A new “couple” by maars inc. is born. Until now, Hi-Bye’s Hideto Iwai has not been able to lend out the scripts he performed at Hi-Bye to outside parties, with few exceptions. This was because the work dealt with events that happened to his own family, and it was judged that the quality of the work could not be maintained unless he directed it himself. However, after seeing “The Children’s Hour,” which was performed by MAARS INC. last year as their inaugural performance, I felt that I could trust this performance. For the first time, we were given permission to perform outside. This project is based on a play by Mr. Iwai, who is a leader in the theater world, and in which young directors take flight. Please look forward to it! Synopsis My father died. My father, who thought “I should die!” many times, died due to a medical error. My father was a doctor who strived to advance cutting-edge technology. A feeling of regret that unexpectedly arises in response to his death. Iwai reconsiders the story of a single couple, from the meeting of his father and mother to their separation. What did my father believe and what did my mother believe? What is the meaning of life? Why did they continue to live together? What does it mean for people to live together? Will he be able to find the answer after tracing many memories and events?

This was at the time when my mother was diagnosed with breast cancer, and I still had a feeling of distrust towards hospitals after losing my father, so I felt a lot of empathy for this work. I think that’s a factor. However, as I read on, I realized that this was a story about a family member dying due to an illness, and I started to wonder, “What exactly is a husband and wife?” ] I realized that this big theme seems to be taking root. At that time, a state of emergency was declared and I was not leaving my house at all, and it was also a time when I was reconsidering my relationships with others. Now that we are in the post-corona era, are there any changes in the way we interact with people? Although I am borrowing the form of [a couple], I would like to think about the unanswerable question of what it means to live with another person while creating and performing the work. What is MAARS INC.?
Image An organization launched in 2023 by actor Manami Hirokawa as a place to freely create with people who want to create works together. I value the “process” of creating works and take on the challenge of new creations. origin of maars inc. Just as people feel attracted to Mars and have feelings for it, I hope this organization also shows off its charm and makes people think of it. With this feeling in mind, we named our company maars inc.
Characteristics of maars inc. performances 01. A realistic production that makes you feel as if it is happening on the spot. It is characterized by highly realistic production that makes it seem as if the actors are actually involved in the events on the spot. You can experience a sense of immersion in the work that you cannot experience at a regular theater. 02. Interact with customers at the after-event “Return Party” Theater is a medium in which both the audience and the creative side have played the role of “seeing and being seen.” However, with the advent of SNS, customers have become more proactive. Because of this, we are holding an after-event, “Returning Party,” so that the creators can also receive feedback from customers after they have seen the theater. Please soak in the afterglow of the work at the theater. 03. Open creative process MAARS INC. operates under the mission of “Bringing theater closer to you.It will surely enrich your life.” In order for people to feel more familiar with theater, we always strive to keep our creations open, such as offering tours of rehearsal halls, holding workshops with citizens who have gathered through public recruitment, and performing them at the same time as the main performance. I am. 04. Ensuring the safety of the rehearsal space maars inc. believes that a harassment-free rehearsal space allows everyone to fully demonstrate their abilities. To this end, we aim to ensure the safety of the rehearsal space using methods that have not been used before. A neutral person (EM) was set up in the group to conduct a one-on-one hearing on the current situation, and if there were any questions or environmental issues that needed to be resolved, the EM would direct the improvements, and everyone could practice
comfortably. We aim to create an environment where people can participate. Performance overview “couple” Performance period: December 5, 2024 (Thursday) to December 8, 2024 (Sunday) Venue: Oji Small Theater (B1F, 1-14-4 Oji, Kita-ku, Tokyo) ■Performers
