Upcoming Activities by
Festival/Tokyo Executive Committee

Launched in 2009, Festival/Tokyo (F/T) has now reached another milestone. The festival will merge with Tokyo Festival (ongoing since 2016) in order to streamline and improve the management of the two festivals, which were already interlinked but officially organized by separate executive committees. As a festival held in its own right, F/T accordingly came to an end with the edition that took place in autumn 2020.

Of the organizations that make up the Festival/Tokyo Executive Committee, Toshima City and Toshima Mirai Cultural Foundation will continue to contribute to the development of the performing arts in the Ikebukuro area of Toshima as part of the Tokyo Festival Executive Committee, while NPO Arts Network Japan will assist in the direct running of Tokyo Festival.

We would like to take this opportunity to express our sincere gratitude to everyone who has supported and fostered F/T over the past twelve years, from our artists and audiences to the local people in the community and various organizations at home and abroad.

From summer through winter 2021, Festival/Tokyo Executive Committee will organize a final program: Archiving F/T, comprising a relaunch of the festival website to offer visitors better access to information on the thirteen editions of the festival held from 2009 to 2020, select past performances available to stream online for a limited time, a symposium, and more.

Kaku Nagashima and Chika Kawai, respectively the director and co-director of F/T from 2018 to 2020, will direct their own program as part of Tokyo Festival 2021, carrying on the vision and ideas that F/T has developed until now. We hope you enjoy the results of these efforts at the upcoming Tokyo Festival.
