With the working topic “Theatre : Nuchigusui” (Nuchigusui is ‘healer of life’ in Okinawan dialect), the festival provided an opportunity for people from all over the world to focus on the role of art and artist at times of ‘crisis’, to witness a country responding to recent tragic events, to experience Asian theatre and culture, to meet, interact, and develop new creative opportunities with people from all over the world.
