Background of "Japan-Korea Theatre Exchange Meeting 2024 - Mix Jam

When the producer of this show, Takemitsu Furukawa, attended a theater festival in Korea last year, he was impressed by the high level of productions and the warmth of the theater people who welcomed him. To his surprise, the festival was a "privately sponsored" international theater festival run by a single producer. I would like to hold such an international theater festival in Japan. We want many people to enjoy it! We also want to create opportunities for international cultural exchange for the next generation who will be responsible for the future of culture and the arts. This year's festival will be an international exchange event that will continue into the future.

This is the first of a series of international exchange events that we will continue to develop in the future.

About "Japan-Korea Theatre Exchange 2024 - Mixed Jam

A total of seven theater companies, four from Korea and three from Japan, will participate in the event. (One of them is a children's theater company from Korea.)

With the support of more than 20 companies and crowdfunding, the Korean children's troupe will perform for free, with admission for children 0 years old and up. The Korean troupe's productions will be subtitled in Japanese, and the Japanese troupe's productions will be subtitled in Korean.

We hope that by making all performances free of charge for high school students and younger, we will be able to communicate international theatrical exchange to a wider range of audiences.
