Chiten, which means “locus” or “point”, is a theater group led by director Motoi Miura. He specializes in performances created from collages using fragments of existing texts. It employs an original linguistic style, deliberately suspending the cadence and rhythm of the language to reveal the raw sound of the words liberated from their meaning. This technique is often known for its musical qualities. Rather than maintaining a single systematic methodology, Chiten explores a variety of approaches to the texts he adapts. His major works include a series of plays by Chekhov, Brecht's Fatzer, and Jelinek's Kein Licht.
