"For 18 days, the work site of Theater Products moved to the Parco Museum. The daily life of fashion brands will be released live.

Theater Products has been making clothes, taking everything around clothes as a theater-like thing. Finally, an unprecedented, unlawful project will be realized, in which the "Theatre Products Site" goes up to the stage as it is and all of it is released.
Theatre Products has established a unique world by maximizing the ability to wait and appeal of clothes, such as shows and performances incorporating music, contemporary dance, magic, etc., and collaborations with creators in various fields, set in a unique space that made a shocking debut with the "needle punch" clothes that can be removed and obtained.

In this exhibition, the production site, which is usually behind the scenes, will be the main stage, and the archives of the collection so far, which celebrated its 5th anniversary, fashion photography, and installations that symbolically show the flow of products.

─ THEATRE PRODUCTS ─
Clothes are made by a unique feeling of air that is born when worn.
It depends on the subtle balance of various elements, such as materials, forms and colors, and it is accompanied by time and space.
Clothes are theater-like products like this, but the fact that there are companies that design, produce, and sell clothes, Theater Products believes that it is theater-like.
In other words, the reality of the fact that an organization (company) that deploys "expressions based on the body" at a daily level is physical in a corner of the world is a living fable about the structure of the theater.
Theatre Products continues to think about fashion itself by working on fashion.
All places and all situations have been completed as "theatre" if there is fashion.
