Background

In the world of expression, only the top of the triangle has opportunities due to the power of production companies, TV, and magazines, and the spotlight does not shine on the people at the bottom.

However, there are many talented people and golden eggs buried at the bottom of the triangle.

We call them "dark horses" and launched this project with the hope of creating a unique inverted triangular world.

■Development Contents

This theater company itself is called the Dark Horse Project, and in order to materialize this project, we will create a place for expression based on the premise of discovering and nurturing dark horses through theater, which is a comprehensive art form.

Theater is filled with various elements such as scriptwriting, direction, actors, music, dance, video, art, and lighting.

The goal of our activities is for each member to express himself/herself in these various sections and create the best possible work.

■Future Development

In the future, we will prepare and publish application guidelines for recruiting members of the troupe and each session, and hold auditions and other events.

Once the members and staff of each session are officially selected, we will begin rehearsals and preparations for the spring debut performance.

The details of the flagship performance will be announced as soon as they are finalized.

Starting with this performance, regular performances will be held.
