What is the connection between “PSYCHO-PASS”, which is set in the near future, 100 years from now, and “Kabuki”, which was established 400 years before the present day? It was about the characters learning about “life choices” and “the feelings of suffering that come with them.” This work is a parallel world story in which Akane Tsunemori and his friends take on the challenge of performing Kabuki as part of their duties as part of the Ministry of Health and Welfare’s Public Safety Bureau by the Sibyl System. What did they learn from Kabuki? Please look forward to the original story exclusive to this performance! Kabuki programs are based on the famous masterpieces of Kamigata Kabuki, depicting the love story between a man and a woman. The theme was “Heike Nyogo no Shima Shunkan”. Although the story of Kabuki is often thought to be difficult, it is structured in an easy-to-understand manner using modern language, so even those who have never seen Kabuki can enjoy the story along with Tsunemori and his friends. The screenplay and direction will be handled by Norihito Nakayashiki, who has worked on the stage plays “Bungo Stray Dogs,” “Kuroko’s Basketball,” “World Trigger,” and “Oshi no Ko.” Don’t miss a special collaboration for 2 days limited ! ◆Story Based on the requests of the Sibyl System, the Public Safety Bureau of the Ministry of Health and Welfare recommends regular Kabuki performances for the purpose of mental care and cultural understanding of employees.
