“Festival/Tokyo” is an International Festival of Performing Arts to be held in various cultural locations around Ikebukuro including the Tokyo Metropolitan Theatre.

Theatre Green, Ikebukuro Nishiguchi Park, The 8th Gallery (CLASKA 8F)

Dates
Nov 7 (Wed) – 24 (Sat), 2012

The F/T Emerging Artists Program supports the next generation of young Asian artists and companies to produce their own work. Last year it expanded out into the whole of Asia and for this 2012 program it received 180 applicants from Japan and the rest of the continent, from which a line-up of 11 companies/artists from 6 countries was chosen. In the range of performances being presented we can witness shared Asian issues and possibilities emerging, revealing the diversity of contemporary artists in the way the themes and methodologies vary. Like last year, the F/T Award will once again be given to the work with the strongest new creative value.

F/T Main Program

How can we comprehend and talk about the complex and severe reality that confronted us on 3.11? F/T12 will retain this inquiry as it moves forward another step, seeking out the visions and actions for re-claiming the words we have lost. Featuring 3 linked works by Nobel laureate Elfriede Jelinek, including a new work inspired by 3.11, the Festival will showcase the contemporary arts from all over the world that are facing up to various crises, becoming a site for questioning the performing arts today and for dialogue with ideas opening up our future.
