*Chie Kajiwara1 (1. Kyushu University - Graduate School of Design)

Keywords:Disaster Storytelling, Post-disaster generation, Theatre performance

While, it was found that different stakeholders gave contradictory meanings to the theater. Therefore, I proposed three types of storytelling designs: "transmission-type," "research-type," and "dialogue-type.
