Toyooka Theater Festival 2026 First Program Announcement

The 10-day celebration where the entire city becomes a stage is back again this year. In addition to a diverse range of expressions—including theater, dance, music, and physical theater—the festival will feature site-specific works that open up into the city’s landscapes and daily life, as well as projects created in collaboration with the local community. Artists from Japan and around the world will gather to deliver a program that can only be experienced here.

Stay tuned for upcoming announcements, including additional Official Programs and the Fringe Programs.
