Cromomoriden's Enthralling Comeback

After an eight-year break, the renowned theater group Cromomoriden is gearing up for its much-anticipated return with the play titled 'Yesterday I Eat Without Singing.' This remarkable production will run at the Independent Theater Oji in Tokyo from September 9 to September 20, 2026, followed by performances at the Independent Theater 2nd in Osaka from September 25 to September 27, 2026.

In a thrilling announcement, the tickets for this highly awaited event will be available for purchase starting July 5, 2026, at 10:00 AM through Kanfetti. The official website for the play is here.

What Awaits the Audience?

With unfinished stories and unexpressed emotions brimming from years of inactivity, 'Yesterday I Eat Without Singing' promises to dive deep into human experiences. The plot revolves around a man who arrives at a movie set burdened by lost memories, contributing to a dramatic narrative full of disbelief and fresh perspectives. The saying 'Can we only create time-slip stories?' echoes through the production as the characters confront their inner turmoil and the absurdity of life.

The Project Behind Cromomoriden

Founded in 1989 and active until 2018, Cromomoriden has been an influential name in the Japanese theatrical universe. Ryo Morishita, a key actor from Cromomoriden, has launched a new project titled Cromomorishitan with the ambition of echoing the spirit of Cromomoriden through the guidance of its original director, Aoki Hideki. This endeavor aims to captivate both veterans of Cromomoriden and newcomers eager to experience their unique brand of theater.

Reconnecting with Fans

As the project unfolded six years post the group's hiatus, excitement is palpable among the team. Ryo Morishita expressed his joy in finally sharing the details of the show with the audience. As Morishita embraces the role of producer, Aoki Hideki will focus on writing and directing, promising a blend of old and new that retains the essence of what made Cromomoriden beloved by many.

This performance stands as an opportunity for the audience to re-engage with powerful stories, exhilarating performances, and artistic reflections on life. Morishita encourages everyone to embrace this new adventure as Cromomoriden ventures back into the world of theater.
