Tokyo Borderless Theatre Project explores how unexpected moments, as small “triggers”, can spark memories of one’s roots.
Join us as we present two work-in-progress projects, created in collaboration with participants from diverse cultural backgrounds.

Tokyo Borderless Theatre Project is a creative platform where people with roots in foreign countries draw on their rich cultural backgrounds to create theatre together.
We are pleased to present two work-in-progress projects developed by participants selected from last year’s training program.
Since August 2025, around 20 participants have been working together on these creations—please come and experience the results of their collaborative exploration.
