Abstract: In Tadashi Suzuki’s directing art, his theatrical treatments are highly symbolic, creating distinctive impressions and forming his unique directorial style. His productions of William Shakespeare’s King Lear and Anton Chekhov’s Three Sisters are considered among the many plays where his approaches to character, action, and script are imbued with rich symbolism. Through these works, Suzuki establishes a powerful visual and conceptual language that distinguishes his theatre both in Japan and internationally.
