(Run by the Tokyo Metropolitan Foundation for History and Culture)Tokyo Metropolitan Art Space was opened in October 1990 by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government with the purpose of promoting the cultural arts such as music, theatre, opera and dance to the citizens of Tokyo, encouraging international cultural exchange. The facilities consist of the Main Hall, the Medium Hall and the Small Hall 1&2 in addition to conference rooms and an exhibition gallery. The festival will make use of the Medium Hall as well as the Small Hall 1&2. In April 2008 the director Hideki Noda was assigned as an artistic advisor, and from next year he will be appointed to the post as an artistic director, strengthening the role of the theatre in the promotion of the creation of the cultural arts.
