21-31/08/2004 Breaker Project NUIGURUMI THEATER

Nuigurumi (stuffed dolls) Theater is developed by the artist Hiroshi Fuji, in response to dwindling availability of playing space for children. A variety of activities such as workshops, and screenings have been taking place in vacant spaces which were used to be shops and public spaces decorated with stuffed animals left over in the programme, Kaekko, exchanging unwanted toys. Nuigurumi Theater features experimental animations that emphasize creativity, rather than commercial as well as visual workshops to encourage creativity in children. The special screening includes works by emerging artists and a rare selection from works by Osamu Tezuka produced between 1928 and 1989. Also, included in a continual presentation of animated film created at the workshop in June with pupils in the Ishi Kinen Aizen-En in Naniwa-ward.
