Ayaka Ono Akira Nakazawa Spacenotblank who have researched and developed various unique mechanisms in the creation of performing arts, will create the structure of the original concept of ‘repeating a 30-minute story three times’ as actual a “Rebirth” to discover further new structures, while interpreting it from the perspective of ‘inheritance’ in multiple ways.
