2010-08-05 CAVA company profile

Taka (Takaaki Kuroda), Hiro (Hiroyuki Fujishiro), and Kazu (Kazuaki Maruyama) co-founded CAVA in 2003, after studying mime with Hiroyasu Sasaki at the Japan Mime Studio.

Shin (Shinnnosuke Hosomi) and Yuki (Yukiko Tanaka) joined in 2008 and CAVA's current quintet was completed. Unsatisfied with works considered to be traditional, the group soon departed from classical mime in search of a more experimental style.

The troupe was selected as the finalist of Guardian Garden Theatre Festival (Japan), participated in Chuncheon International Mime Festival (Korea) and has been carrying out energetic performance activities. In addition, each member actively plays parts in films, music videos and TV dramas in Japan.

Company's main repertories include 'Republic', 'TRAP', and so on.
