With its multi-genre attractions spanning theatre, dance and street artists, the Strange Seed project will see the whole of central Shizuoka transform into a stunning performance area that will form — along with the Open-air Performing Arts Festival — the vibrant backdrop for this year’s World Theatre Festival Shizuoka. Thanks to colorful and original events in Sumpujo Park and on the streets, the project will ensure that performing arts become part of residents’ and visitors’ daily lives alike — and will also allow everyone to discover a new Shizuoka for themselves in the process.
