CJA’s awaited show is back
We are thrilled to announce the return of “MOMOTARO: In Search of a Hero 2024,” the modern rendition of the beloved tale inspired by the Japanese folk tale, which captivated audiences at the Japan Society’s “Children’s Day” since 2017. After a hiatus due to the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, this enchanting production is set to grace the stage once again!

During the cancellation of live performances, “MOMOTARO: In Search of a Hero” found new life in 2020 with a widely acclaimed YouTube release under “Theater To Go (TCC),” amassing over 24,000 views. Now, after much anticipation, we are delighted to bring back the magic of live theater.

Join us for an immersive interactive stage experience for both adults and kids. Through music, dance, song, and storytelling, let’s transport the theater space to a world where heroes are forged and adventures await.

Featuring Asuka Morinaga (Storyteller), Layla Sazanami (Dance & Song), Yoko Nakahashi (Taiko), Michiyo Morikawa (Piano), and special guest Hikaru Tamaki (Cello). With music by Fumi Tanakadate, this promises to be a theatrical journey like no other.
