The Land of Mothers is an imaginary place inhabited by only mothers. It appears only when the performers and the audience are in the place.
Although fathers and children are never there, they still act as “moms.” They cook, wash, and wait for someone to come back.
This play has been improved through visiting some “houses” and being previewed there.
All mothers are performed by male actors. They should surprisingly look like their own mothers.

The IDIOT SAVANT theater company was founded in 2005 and it has developed an alternative style of performance that weaves filmed images, contemporary music and the lyrical texts composed by Koh-Toh-Shi, the founder, a writer-director, and a poet. Pursuing its own theory of body expression, company’s specific style, “Impassioned tableau theater - expressing less to enhance audience’s imagination” has evolved. The company still advances to create and convey the unique theatrical space. This time, the IDIOT SAVANT theater company collaborates with “Tsugaru-jamisen”, a three-stringed instrument, along with motion pictures of the deep snow fallen in the serene mountain. 〈flyer〉

Acclaimed Indigenous choreographer Santee Smith (Canada) and one of the most recognized Ainu musicians, OKI (Japan) collaboratively create an engaging contemporary performance using elements of music, dance and design. Smith’s choreography is renowned as a new form of dance expression by fusing traditional Indigenous and contemporary dance.
