Through collaboration between artists selected from an international open call and the festival coordinators, this flagship Fringe category brings to life performances and projects that can only be realized at the Toyooka Theater Festival.
Multiple groups will share the intimate Toyooka Million-za Theater. This year, five companies will each present a 30-minute performance in a continuous program. As the name “Meeting” suggests, exchange and networking events are also planned.
Artists step beyond theaters and halls to bring performances into the streets and public spaces of the city. Some programs can also be enjoyed alongside the Festival Night Market, offering a unique festival experience throughout the town.
