Pantomime Duo “GABEZ” presents a physical and comical theatre that is simple and enjoyable for all types of audience - from very young children to elderly, and transcending cultural barriers. In 2021, their famous “Pictogram Performance” brought GABEZ to the global spotlight during the Opening Ceremony of the Olympic Games 2020 held in Tokyo.

This time the Duo presents their new production “O-TO-FU-RU”: Vibrating with Sound. Entertaining with Sound. Falling Sound. Whether intelligible or not, the beings do have Sound. In addition to “O-TO-FU-RU” the Duo presents a hilarious performance titled “Live Manga” which received the International Best Performance Award at the Busan International Comedy Festival.

A message from the artists: 

"We hope you enjoy the gentle, warm and slightly mysterious view of the world. This year's production is also something that can be enjoyed by the whole family. Moreover, there will be two parts: “Otofuru,” a new work created for the Harikka Rikkaka Festival, and “Live Manga,” an award-winning manga created overseas. We hope you enjoy them!"
