Introduction

VR theater, a cutting-edge new genre, is now coming into the limelight.


Even if you live far away, VR will bring you close to it. It is a new method of theatrical expression that enables you to jump over space and distance, even if you are interested in a place that is too far away to visit.


When you put on the VR goggles, even if you are in the form of an avatar, the sense of security that your friends and colleagues are there is no different from meeting them in real life.



The 3D space of VR also makes it possible to express mysterious magic through the use of particles, a graphical expression method, and because it is in the metaverse, it is possible to change the stage in an instant.


Furthermore, avatars can express themselves as they wish, regardless of gender or age.


We have planned this theater festival so that people can experience the performance expressed in this new VR world. We would like to create a theater festival that will leave a lasting impression on both the performers and the audience.


We would also like to make the genre of VR theater known to as many people as possible.

Why don't you take a step into a new world?
