Festival/Tokyo13 Program

Festival/Tokyo 2013's programs are divided into four areas: the Open Program, Main Program, Emerging Artists Program, and Affiliated Program.

The encounters & celebration
of a festival

Open Program

Creates encounters and dialogue with others
through the Opening Event free for everyone to attend,
a huge sculpture installation,
and the participatory F/T Mob Special program.

New creativity unique to F/T

Main Program

Once again inquiring into the fundamentals of
theatre – drama and fiction, searching for
new forms of contemporary narrative.
Numerous works will explore new formats
for telling stories that respond to social changes,
and works that re-interpret classical texts
and myths from the contexts of today.

Supporting & introducing
new Asian artists

Emerging Artists Program

A platform for new artists in Asia to present
their theatre and dance work.
The F/T Award is given to the work judged
to have the best artistic value and then invited to
next year's Main Program.

Showcasing the Tokyo theatre
scene to the world

Affiliated Program

Introduces other productions happening in Tokyo at the same time as the festival, further promoting the Tokyo theatre scene.
