About the programme開く

This is a new production for children by BIRD Theatre Company. The appeal of BIRD Theatre Company's productions is that not only children but also adults can enjoy them. This is the second MIYAZAWA Kenji play following Gauche the Cellist. Again, the play begins in an empty space, where various invisible things become visible. Please look forward to the unique and exciting performances of the actors, as well as the fantastic costumes, props and music. It's a story that everyone knows, but there will be some fresh surprises.

Synopsis開く

Two young, stylish gentlemen from the city come to the mountains to hunt with their gleaming guns, saying disrespectful things to the forest and the wild animals. The wildcats notice the arrogant pair and draw them into the fantasy of the 'Restaurant WILDCAT HOUSE'. This is a piece from MIYAZAWA Kenji's only collection of children's stories published during his lifetime, The Restaurant of Many Orders (published in 1924).
