Outline

“A-hoj! 2021” is a new performing arts festival, where various puppet shows, music and artistic forms from Japan and the world are intermingled. In the last edition.
“A-hoj!“ means “Hey!“ or “Hello!“ and is a greeting which shows great affection towards the person you meet. The festival will transform the urban landscape of Shinjuku, where various cultures intersect, and will offer excellent artistic experiences to all people across generations and nationalities.
“A-hoj! 2021” has also a unique concept of accessibility, consisting of 5 elements: venue, language, age, economic circumstances and area.
