The theatres have been closed due to the coronavirus pandemic, making it temporarily impossible to see theatrical performances. This may happen again in the future. The time has come when new forms of performance arts, both tangible and intangible, are required.
As one of the answers to such a demand, we propose to further develop the “OPEN AIR THEATER” as a new style of theatrical expression. We aim to create an experience where people can meet in a city while keeping a safe space between each other.
We strive to create a festival that will be like “having a picnic in the sun” for people in Shizuoka City, where they can enjoy a relaxing moment and get an insight into the power of performance arts that can change their perspective on the city. We are launching the “New Strange Seed,” where the everyday life of the city coexists with the extraordinary presence of performing arts.
This is a performing arts festival where you can enjoy watching plays and dance performances under blue skies, feeling the early autumn breeze as you picnic. We propose a new form of outdoor festival with measures against COVID-19.
This year, we have two performance venues:
More Shizuoka-based artists will also be performing! This is the time to present performances that originate from Shizuoka, which can only be created and seen in Shizuoka.
