Set in a world where the roles of 'eaters' and 'the eaten' are reversed, this work sharply portrays the dilemma of humans unable to break free from their own common sense, despite understanding each other's language and completely different values. Its powerful satire and shocking conclusion continue to resonate deeply with audiences even after half a century, prompting reflection. Adapted, choreographed, and directed by Takuro Suzuki, this timeless masterpiece is revived through Suzuki's unique expression, aiming to create a performance that people of all generations can enjoy.
