The Satoh Sakichi Theatrical Festival has been held once every two years since 2004 whenever notable works and groups got together. This time, they will be using their know-how developed over the past 10 years to perform a large-scale simultaneous large-scale festival where plays are held at the same time at the Oji Fringe Theatre, as well as five other spots within a 150-meter range. Oji Fringe Theatre has chosen a number of talented young troupes to perform these plays. In addition to these performances, they will also establish a talk lounge where they invite cutting-edge artists and producers, and a cafe for visitors to stay at.
Satoh Sakichi Theatrical Festival Committee
Satoh Electronics Inc. established the Oji Fringe Theatre in 1998 as a Mécéna project, and actively uses it as a method to support young artists. The Oji Fringe Theatre also began a committee to run the Satoh Sakichi Theatrical Festival, an invitation-only festival that bears the name of the company’s founder. This committee carefully selects artists which will bring a greater level of performances to the theatre than the theatre’s regular projects. The festival has been held five times; in 2004, 2006, 2008, 2010, and 2012.
