Sinjyuza's 113th Performance: A Unique Double Feature Awaits Audiences

Sinjyuza Theatre's Spectacular 113th Performance

The celebrated Sinjyuza Theatre is set to showcase its 113th performance, featuring an exciting double bill that includes the original play "Residents of Tanuki House" and the renowned classic "Doshishun" by Ryunosuke Akutagawa. Audiences can look forward to this captivating theatrical experience from June 26 to June 28, 2026, at the Musashino Arts Theatre in the heart of Musashino City, Tokyo.

Performance Overview

This vibrant theatrical event will feature two distinct yet complementary shows. The first, "Residents of Tanuki House", is a freshly written original piece that brings to life the whimsical characters of the Tanuki House, where human beings cohabit with curious and magical creatures known as youkai. Written and directed by Miki Goto and Taiichi Minagawa, this charming story promises to elicit not only laughter but also heartwarming moments as the lively residents embark on various adventures together.

Following this, the classic "Doshishun", adapted by Naoki Ikken of Artlantis, tells the poignant tale of a young man’s extraordinary journey of self-discovery and enlightenment. As he navigates through surreal experiences, he is confronted with a significant question: what is truly valuable in his life? Audiences are invited to witness his final choice during this thrilling narrative.

A Rich Theatrical Experience

Sinjyuza aims to enchant its audience with a show that blends the warmth of new storytelling with the timeless exploration of human nature.
