PROFILE プロフィール
The red-mohawked Ketch!, who had performed as a pantomime soloist, and
the yellow-mohawked HIRO-PON made a fateful encounter to form the
silent comedy duo in 1999. “Gamarjobat” means “hello” in Georgian.
Their highly-acclaimed performance beyond the language and cultural
barriers has led to the duo being invited to numerous festivals in
various countries, which have amounted to more than 200 shows in 31
countries. Thoroughly-plotted stage acts and lively street shows –
both of which their performance revolves around. They are appreciated
as artists with worldwide recognition and receive endless requests to
get up on the stage from overseas. Domestically, the duo’s performance
is extremely popular regardless of age in events, TV appearances or
commercials as well as festivals and theatrical shows. In addition,
they were chosen as one of “the 100 most respected Japanese people in
the world” in the Japanese-edition Newsweek magazine. In
2010, they started on the Gamarjobat Project, which is a group of
actors who never use words.
