Naotoshi Oda

Born in 1986 in the city of Hiroshima. Graduated with a Master’s degree from the School of Education of Tokyo Gakugei University. Oda began creative activities in 2015. Among his major theater works are Es ist gut (premiere 2016), which connects themes from philosophical works Groundwork of the Metaphysics of Morals (Immanuel Kant) and Man’s Search for Meaning (Viktor Emil Frankl) to the events that took place in Tokyo after the March 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami; About Evil (premiere 2017), which drew on quotes from the ancient philosopher Augustine of the late Roman Empire in the depiction of concerns about small misdeeds committed by a group of five men and women; and Sin and Love (premiere 2020) drawing on Dostoevsky’s Crime and Punishment in a personal short story style exploring the theme of poverty.
