"The BLUE BIRD" which was nominated for The 52nd Kishida Drama Prize and translated in English in 2009 was staged by theater company "WITNESS RELOCATION" which is based in New York.

A world where birds have been extinct. Seven scholars were gathered to find the last bird "blue bird". They keep walking in deep woods to find "blue birds" that only fly during the short hours when the night and the morning change...

This work draws contemporary young people who can not be adults called "blue bird syndrome" and considers discommunication in the words and the body.
