In 2021, the year of the COVID-19 Disaster, Geinoh groups and contemporary artists from Sanriku, Indonesia, and Cambodia collaborated via online to create a stage piece, “Princess Kaminagahime”. This work was recorded and broadcasted as a co-sponsored program of the Tokyo 2020 NIPPON Festival, and was viewed by many people.

This year, new countries and new members will gather to create a completely new stage production. We will create a work interacting with each other on site, which was not possible during the quarantine. We will hold a “work-in-progress” to show the creative process to the public, followed by the main performance.

Sanriku will be decorated with international colors. We hope you will come and see it.

International Co-production Work Stage production “The Long-Haired Princess

Geinoh groups from Sanriku, Indonesia, and Taiwan collaborated to create a stage production based on a Sanriku folk tale, incorporating contemporary issues such as disasters, marine debris, declining birthrates, and cultural transmission. With the bamboo flute as a common language, an international co-production and performance (showcase and main performance) will be held to fuse traditional Geinoh and modern expression. The creative process and performances will be filmed and broadcast both domestically and internationally.
