YURIIKA HYAKKATEN

Stage/Space. We collaborate with various places and people, uncovering the inevitabilities of each scene.

We value connecting the excitement of encountering 'the place' and 'the people' with everyone involved.

Always striving to create works like a jewelry box, we hope that after leaving 'YURIIKA HYAKKATEN', you will find the starry sky more beautiful than ever. We continue our activities with this wish in mind.

In 2001, we held our first theater performance. Since then, all projects and productions have been directed and produced by Tamio (Michiko Nakasugi). We hold one performance a year at ARTCOMPLEX1928 and other venues. In 2009, we paused activities for four years due to the pregnancy of our representative, Michiko Nakasugi. We resumed activities in 2013, performing the reading play "Animal Story Series" at various stores including Keibunsha Ichijoji Store COTTAGE. This work was also performed at Kyoto City Zoo in 2017. In 2018, we were responsible for directing the opening event at ROHM Theatre Kyoto and in 2020, directed the civic musical at Ritto Cultural Hall Sakira.

As Family Workshops, we hold workshops for families in Tokyo, Tokushima, Hyogo, and other locations. Utilizing the experience and skills cultivated on stage, we engage in various projects.

Up until now,

All projects and productions have been directed and produced by Tamio (Michiko Nakasugi).

From 2009 to 2013, activities were paused due to Tamio's childbirth. In 2013, we resumed with a reading play themed around zoos. Utilizing the experience and skills cultivated on stage, we engaged in various projects beyond just theater.

In 2017, with the addition of Sayaki Murayama, we transitioned to a membership system.

In 2019, Chika Imai and Ryo Okamoto joined, followed by Momo Watanabe in 2021.

In 2022, Tamio moved to Thailand. Upon returning in 2023, the membership system ended, and we returned to Tamio's production style.
