About the Event

Organized by the Wakasishi Kai troupe, 'Toden Yose' aims to provide a platform for both established and emerging artists. Since its inception in October 1987, following the dissolution of the 'Shinkokugeki' theater group, Wakasishi Kai has been dedicated to producing unique performances, showcasing both classic and modern works. This new incarnation of Wakasishi Kai embodies the spirit of revitalization and innovation every step of the way.
