Auditions and Workshops for graduates of the NNT Drama Studio, and participation in rehearsals

Director Moïse Touré came to Japan in November 2009 to audition actors for the parts of Charles, Fak, and Claire. He also conducted workshops for programme graduates.

In the auditions and workshops, students from the first and second waves of graduates tried out for three parts. An additional seven actors were selected as acteur témoin, or "witness-actors", for the rehearsals. Preliminary rehearsals were held in February, and full rehearsals will be held in March.

The witness-actors will be paired with seven actors into two-person groups (leaving out the part of Abad), and will be present and participate in all aspects of the creative process. As Touré explains, "Their participation in the rehearsals will be both as witness and experient—as what we call 'acteur témoin'".
