A veritable earthquake of passion…It’s crazy… It’s fringe-y. Sit back and let it come at you! – Liz Nicholls, 12thNight.ca
This is fun with a Japanese flavor! Go taste it! – Adelaide Theatre Guide
This production could be described as KABUKI meets The Mikado meets Rashomon –
the modern version. – SAN DIEGO Reader
It was truly an out-of-this-world experience.
I was expecting something crazy from these Osaka folks, but I didn’t expect it to be that crazy. – TODAY For Art’s Sake!, Singapore
Winner of “Artist Pick” at Edmonton Fringe 2023, “Fringe Of The Fringe” and “Outstanding Comedy” at San Diego Fringe 2016. A fantastically distorted love comedy starring human beings and their amorous lies! All the awkward aspects of love are on full display here – along with over-the-top costumes, earworm music and super-epic dance moves.
In the “Forest of Truth”, its residents are waiting to reveal the lies found in the human world. One day, a Man and a Woman step into the forest and immediately they fall in love. However, the residents of the forest then reveal the hidden aspects of their hearts. Written by Theatre Group
