A “NARUTO” Like No One Has Ever Seen Before Begins!
A “NARUTO” like no one has ever seen before—true to those words, this production is a new-sensory theatrical performance with no language barrier, delivering a completely new experiential “ninja” live show.
It expresses the ninjutsu of “NARUTO” through a fusion of physical expressions—such as live-actor action and acrobatics—with cutting-edge technology like projection mapping and illusions, utilizing the comprehensive stage mechanisms of Minamiza Theatre, which boasts numerous stage tricks unique to a Kabuki theatre.
With no language barrier, everyone can intuitively immerse themselves in the world of the story across borders and generations.
Directing the show is Go Ueki, who has brought numerous globally popular works to the stage, including “Attack on Titan” and “Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon”.
Furthermore, Neil Dorward, renowned for his work with “Cirque du Soleil”, joins as the Global Creative Consultant. This powerful collaboration between top-tier creators from Japan and the US creates a unique entertainment space where traditional culture, pop culture, and ninjas intersect.
