About this event

Aiming to further enrich and expand the expression and art scene of Yoron Island in an enjoyable way, this is a pre-event held ahead of the "1st Yoron Island Arts and Culture Festival" scheduled for March 2027. It combines a workshop focusing on the acoustic and lighting techniques that support the island's performing arts with evening stage performances into a single day. On the day, a wide variety of programs will unfold, including mugwort mochi pounding, various stalls, a dance workshop by globally active dancer and choreographer AKO, a design experience by fashion designer Kosuke Tsumura, stage craft lectures taught by professionals, and authentic evening performances set on the grounds of Yoron Jinushi Shrine. In the acoustic and lighting experience, participants can hands-on learn backstage techniques. During the evening portion, performances across various genres—including dance groups, Eisa, video, spatial presentation, and theater—will be presented, creating an enchanting atmosphere. The event aims to weave new expressions from the island's living traditions and nature, delivering lasting cultural memories to children.
