Abstract
Seldom does theatre for the young break the invisible barrier that separates it from the larger theatre world, but recently a brilliantJapanese company has done just that. It is called Kaze-no-ko (Children of the Wind), a name drawn from an ancient legend depicting children as the offspring of the wind and a fitting title for a group dedicated to the liveliness and free spirit of the young. Kaze-no-ko was conceived in the early 1950s in a wave of idealism after the devastating Pacific war. A direct line to that idealistic origin continues today through the son of the founder, Toru Tada, who is now their resident playwright, and through Sekiya Yukio, their chief dramatist.
