I am pleased to finally announce the stage adaptation of "PSYCHO-PASS Psycho-Pass," which I have been working on in secret with a special team for the past two years!
The theme of "PSYCHO-PASS Psycho-Pass" is the question of what humanity is in the first place, and it is a very significant task to express it in the theater genre, where the humanity of the performers is clearly conveyed. We will deliver something that can only be performed by flesh and blood with a wonderful cast including Suzuki Hiroki and a distinguished staff of actors and actresses in the theater world!

Suzuki Hiroki

I am honored to be cast in the stage version of "PSYCHO-PASS: Psycho-Pass. I am very happy to be involved in this work, which I hear is the culmination of director Motohiro's passion over the past two years.
The film depicts a world about 100 years in the future where psychological states and criminal tendencies are quantified. I felt that the worldview of conquering crime before it is committed is so realistic and terrifying that it could actually happen in the near future. Is the quantified world good or not? I would like to create a work that allows the audience to experience "a future that may really come true" through the stage.
