Guide
Experience the deep process of theatrical creation at the historic Yokiso. "Behind the Scenes of Theater at Yokiso" is a special program where you can observe the intense rehearsal process of actors up close—a side of performance rarely seen by the public.
The program includes a talk session by director Naotaka Hiratsuka, offering deep insights into direction and expression, followed by an on-site performance that captures the raw energy of a professional production. This is a rare opportunity to touch the essence of dramatic art within the beautiful, historic atmosphere of Yokiso.
The greatest appeal is the chance to experience the "process" of theater directly. Rather than just watching a finished play, you will witness how actors build their characters and the journey they take to reach full expression. It is a precious opportunity to feel the atmosphere of a professional creative environment.
Additionally, the talk session by Naotaka Hiratsuka will provide deeper knowledge regarding directorial thought and the construction of stage expression. The fusion of the soulful, historic space of Yokiso with the art of theater provides a unique intellectual and sensory experience. This is highly recommended for theater enthusiasts and anyone interested in the mechanics of performance.
This event will be held on Saturday, July 25, 2026.
The 2-hour program consists of a concentrated talk session and an on-site performance.
