Mum-Gypsy’s Takahiro Fujita’s first theater work,『Can’t see, wanna hear』is a play that both children and adults can enjoy together. The play uses a variety of techniques to lower the threshold for children to see the play, such as using a large cloth as a forest, games such as Shiritori (Japanese word game), and visual effects using bubbles. The play also challenges the motifs of a girl’s growth, independence, and war, and was highly acclaimed at its premiere in 2018, as a play that can also be suitable by adult audiences. In 2019, 36 performances were held in 14 cities across Japan, from Hokkaido to Okinawa, attracting a total of more than 4,000 people.
