Discover Atelier Edge's Latest Production: 'Nubatama no Fuchi'

Atelier Edge, a renowned theater troupe led by director Eri Namiki, is excited to announce its latest dark tale, 'Nubatama no Fuchi,' which will be performed at the prestigious Shinjuku Theatre Morieru from February 25 to March 1, 2026. This riveting story set in the late Heian period delves into themes of curses, redemption, and the enduring power of prayer and poetry.

A Glimpse into the Story

Set against the backdrop of a tumultuous era in Japanese history, 'Nubatama no Fuchi' explores the arrival of demons that shatter the tranquility of the capital. The central figure is the spirit of an emperor, believed to be cursed, prompting the question: What drives humans to become demons? And is there a path to salvation?

This narrative is more than just a dark tale; it's a requiem focused on uncovering the prayers hidden within resentment, gently mending broken hearts. The story emphasizes the profound connection between sorrow and hope, leading audiences through a poignant exploration of human emotions.

The Artistic Vision of Atelier Edge

Atelier Edge carries a philosophy rooted in the fusion of 'PRAY' (prayer) and 'PLAY' (performance), aiming to convey the spirit of 'Bushido' and the sanctity of 'Shinto.' They are dedicated to preserving their cultural heritage while also tackling historical truths and breaking taboos to craft innovative theater experiences.

Their performances range from small intimate shows to grand stages, showcasing various forms including reading plays, ceremonial dramas, music theater, and rock musicals. With an emphasis on entertainment, they believe that theater should be an enjoyable experience, channeling the spirit of traditional Japanese festivals.
