Thoroughly unique, one performance after another - Coexistence and co-creation project
In order to contribute to the realization of "Kanagawa, a society where we can live together," Kanagawa Prefecture is implementing the "Coexistence and Co-creation Project" in the field of culture and the arts, with the goal of "living together and creating together," so that everyone, from children to adults, regardless of age or disability, can participate in and enjoy performing arts.
The event will feature "Challenge of the Silver," a project in which Yoko Ando, a world-renowned dancer, creates new dance expressions with seniors aged 60 or over from Kanagawa Prefecture, as well as a performance by the Odawara Senior Theater Chiliac Oldies, a senior theater troupe based in Odawara City.

The hands of the clock do not stop. Each of the three characters, each with their own thoughts, tries to move forward as far as they can. Will the performance be able to start on time? And what is the true meaning of the leading actress's words?
"Just don't say that so bluntly!"
