あえて難しいことにチャレンジしなければいけないと感じました。そうでなければ日本の演劇界は前に進んでいかないと考えたからです。 I felt that I had to dare to challenge something difficult. This is because I thought that otherwise the Japanese theater world would not be able to move forward.

私たちが目指したのは、「極限の世界を生きる登場人物たちの、深い人間ドラマ」を描くことでした。 What we aimed for was to draw "a deep human drama of characters living in a world of extremes".
Hideyuki Nishimori / Adaptation, Director
そこから生まれてくる写真は、シンプルで、とても強いものでした。The photos that came out of it were simple and very strong.

衣裳は人物像を表現するためだけではなく、本来“オートクチュール“です。 Costumes are not only used to express a person's image, but are essentially "haute couture."
