Experience the Magic of Takashi Niigaki's Live Piano Performance at Suginami Theatre

In a thrilling upcoming event, acclaimed composer and pianist Takashi Niigaki is set to grace the Suginami Theatre Festival with his mesmerizing live piano performance. This special appearance will be part of the immersive theater production titled 'Eden: The Robot Loved by the Doctor', presented by the innovative theater company Phantomeria. The performances will take place from March 14 to March 15, 2026, at the uniquely designed Yukukukan Gazabi in Suginami Ward, Tokyo.

An Overview of 'Eden: The Robot Loved by the Doctor'

The story of 'Eden' opens up a century-old mystery, centering around a research facility that was rediscovered after a great disaster. The audience will experience a captivating narrative as they engage with the remnants of the past. The central character, Eden, a robot designed a hundred years ago, remains in a stunning form within the research lab. The audience will take part in the exploration to recover important data that the late scientist had left behind. However, this journey comes with a chilling whisper of rumor: the scientist may have been killed by his own creation, Eden.

A Unique Approach to Theater

Phantomeria specializes in immersive theater, a genre that transforms the audience into participants within the storyline. This method allows for an engaging performance where the actors and audience interact closely, creating a truly unforgettable experience. Each of the eight performances of 'Eden' will be initiated and concluded with a live piano piece performed by Niigaki himself, providing an emotional connection to the unfolding drama.

The Visionaries Behind the Performance

Takashi Niigaki will be collaborating closely with Sami Kuribayashi, a well-known free announcer who is also the planner and scriptwriter of the play. Niigaki expressed his excitement and anticipation, acknowledging that even he is unaware of how the story will unfold. Their partnership promises to create an intriguing atmosphere for audiences. Kuribayashi shared her enthusiasm about working with Niigaki again, seeing it as a dream come true, and is committed to crafting the story's spatial setting with elegance, music, and dance.
