Noh performances ceased after the Taisho era, and the Noh stage at Nagae Atsukushihiko Shrine lay dormant for a long time. Sado Island, a World Heritage Site, is home to approximately one-third of Japan's Noh theaters. Among them, one site has been forgotten for nearly 100 years: the Atsukushihiko Shrine Noh Stage, where Noh performances ceased in the Taisho era. The Sado Island Galaxy Art Festival 2025 will bring this historic stage back to life with a special event. A one-night-only experience where the past and future intersect. This event will feature a Noh performance by a local Noh performer, revived after nearly 100 years. In addition, eight contemporary musicians will perform live on the Noh stage, creating unique worldviews using a variety of instruments, including electronics, laptops, digital pianos, guitars, and flutes, as well as creative instruments made from Sado bamboo. Following the Noh performance and symposium, the opening will feature guest appearances by Fukushima Rei Shuzan + Fukushima Satoshi, a father-son duo who first met on Sado and fuse shakuhachi with electronic music. This special evening, where the majestic space of Noh intersects with the tranquil sounds of contemporary music, will sharpen all five senses and provide a one-of-a-kind experience unlike any other. [Notice] This event will be conducted entirely in Japanese. Translation and interpretation services will not be available.
