The summer festival of Suzuki Company of Toga is a unique experience in the world of theatre and performing arts. During 10 days, from August 28th to September 6th, in a remote area on the sea of Japan side, in the heart of the mountains, passionate people meet and assist to the company’s unique plays. Noism dance company, settled in Niigata, will also join and present some works. Plays are usually subtitled / made accessible to non Japanese speakers – check for each case. This year schedule features the Part I and IV of Greetings from the edge of Earth, and King Lear, by Scot company, a new choregraphy from Noism, as well as One Single Action from choregraph Lucy Guerin (schedule is for the time being in Japanese, we will join the English version when available). As the place is remote and lodging scarce, you will need to register with the SCOT club to be able to book tickets. Tadashi Suzuki was one of the very first to launch an international festival in Japan, and also was at the very heart of the creation of Shizuoka performing arts festival. In spite of that, the website is somewhat complex to navigate, and it might be easier to call them – or to follow on Instagram (Scot_Toga). Other hints here as well.
