Under the direction of artist OKADA Hiroko, with AIDA Makoto as an adviser, the Alternative Puppet Theatre GEKIDAN★SHIKI is a puppet theatre company which seeks to create extremely experimental performances. It has a large unspecified number of members, from artists and art students to housewives and children. From open-air public performances in parks or on the street in the flophouse area of Kotobuki-cho in Yokohama, to performances and exhibitions at the Contemporary Art Centre in Vilnius, Lithuania, and the Mori Art Museum, Tokyo, they are known for being elusive: the great variety of their activities breaks out of the conventional frame of puppet theatre. In summer 2015 they will participate as the “Aida Family (AIDA Makoto, OKADA Hiroko, AIDA Torajiro)” to exhibit puppets in the show “An Art Exhibition for Children – Whose place is this?” at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Tokyo.
The publication is also planned of the Alternative Puppet Theatre GEKIDAN★SHIKI’s novel of popular puppet theatre, “The Murder Museum of Gendaichi Kosuke”.
