There is a child who bursts into tears even when the wind grazes his cheek or when the old lady next door strokes his cheek. One day, a man dressed in black comes to the child. The man is looking for the world's most beautiful and innocent tears.

Would our lives be lonely, forlorn and unsatisfying without tears? Sometimes, we may feel at a loss. Perhaps we may have to live with an empty mind in silence. But we all have tears. One day, the frozen tears will thaw, and the cold heart will be warmed. When you see the performance and shed an unknown tear you don't know where it came from, like 'Tear Bag', please keep it in a safe place. You may meet someone who needs those tears.

What is going on in our hearts when tears build up, when we hold back tears, and when we wipe away tears? Even if no tears are actually shed, there may be 'Shadow Tears' that run without a sound. Let's visit the world of tears with 'The Tear Salesman', who turns colourful tears into crystals. I would be pleased if you felt that tears connected us at the end of the performance. Thank you.
