DETAILS
Japanese dancers are very active not only in Japan but all over the world. "Ballet Asteras" has been staged since 2009 with the aim to introduce Japanese dancers who are mainly performing outside of Japan and who have few chances to present themselves to the Japanese audience.
So far, many talented dancers and their partners came to join the special programme from overseas. Also, some notable Ballet schools including the Canada's National Ballet School, the Ballet School of Accademia Teatro alla Scala and Vaganova Ballet Academy participated in this international and cultural festival.
This time we celebrate this special occasion by welcoming the dancers who belong to foreign ballet companies or who had danced overseas and returned to Japan in the last three years.
We have two performances with different prorammes.
[Covid-19] Our Prevention Plan and Request to Our Patrons
The performances will be taking place based on the policies of the Japanese government and the Tokyo Metropolitan government, along with the guideline for the prevention of the spread of COVID-19 infection by the Association of Public Theatres and Halls in Japan.
