We are pleased to announce that the Tokyo Metropolitan Government and the Tokyo Metropolitan Foundation for History and Culture will present three art projects, “TOKYO FORWARD 2025 Cultural Programs,” in 2025, when Tokyo will host the World Athletics Championships and the Deaflympics.
Deaf and hearing performers, each with different languages and living environments, come together to take on the challenge of this unprecedented stage production.
