ZIPANGU: A performance festival with lights

ZIPANGU: A completely original new performance "ZIPANGU: A performance festival colored by light", the first time that light effects and immersive experiences are combined in traditional Japanese culture / Ponto-cho Utamatsurijo

Thursday, December 07, 2023 - Monday, December 11, 2023
*Performance times vary depending on tickets.
Ponto-cho Utabaneri Festival (noh dance performance held in Ponto-cho, Saitama Prefecture)

From December 7 (Thu.) to 11 (Mon.), 2023 [Ponto-cho Utamatsurijo], a completely original new performance "ZIPANGU: Hikari ga Soreru Enbu Matsuri" will be staged, combining light effects and immersive experiences with traditional Japanese culture for the first time.

MPLUSPLUS, which has been involved in the staging of many international events, including the opening ceremony of the Tokyo 2020 Paralympics, and is highly acclaimed around the world, will provide the light effects. Light magic will be applied to the stage of three traditional Japanese cultural "dances": dance by gei-maiko, revue by OSK Nippon Opera Company, and Iwami Kagura (traditional Shinto music and dance).

Not only on stage, but also throughout the theater, the show is linked to the theater, and the fantastic space that envelops the entire venue is truly extraordinary! At the end of the show, all the visitors can join in the festive experience. The priests and yokai connect the audience to the world of the story and invite them into the world of ZIPANGU. Don't miss this rare opportunity to walk the streets of Kyoto wearing a glowing happi, newly developed by MPLUSPLUS.

In addition to general tickets, "VIP tickets" will be available for this performance, where you will be entertained by maiko. For those who want to enjoy the event more, we recommend the "Special Experience Ticket" which allows you to experience a special walk through the streets of Kyoto guided by the Immersive Experience cast. Enjoy an experiential show that does not end with just viewing, but can be enjoyed with the whole body!
