Within this small theater, Sato hopes to convey the sentiments of warmth and excitement he recalls from his youth, qualities that seem to echo into a more modern context where many of those futurist dreams have come true. His narrative seeks to cross boundaries of time and place, resonating within the hearts of diverse audiences. The challenge of exploring one's past while contemplating the future is effectively the core of 'Nostalgic Future.'

Established in 1990 alongside Yuichi Fukuda through Bravo Company, Sato's mission has always been to connect with people via the art of storytelling. His role in this production not only showcases his talents as a performer but also cements his status as a meaningful contributor to the cultural landscape of Japan.
