The ONE STAGE Project: A New Era of Artistic Expression

A groundbreaking initiative led by acclaimed Japanese dancer Wakako Arima, the ONE STAGE project redefines performance art by challenging the question: How much can we express on just a single tatami mat? This fascinating exploration is set to launch with its inaugural concert, ONE STAGE CONCERT, on November 24, 2025, at the historically significant Zōjō-ji temple in Minato-ku, Tokyo.

Project Overview

The ONE STAGE project features a modular stage made from a single tatami mat. Its unique design encourages performers to explore their artistic boundaries, showcasing their talents within the confines of this traditional Japanese space. The project's goal is to create a diverse cultural dialogue that transcends genres, including traditional performing arts, music, and contemporary visual art.

This year's concert includes a remarkable lineup of emerging artists, many of whom have been recognized in Forbes' 30 Under 30 list. They will present an eclectic mix of performances that not only entertain but also provoke thought, blending different forms of artistic expression in a single setting.
