The five key themes of Shinsei Shibuya PARCO: FASHION/ART/ENTERTAINMENT/FOOD/TECHNOLOGY. One of them is “ENTERTAINMENT” at the core of “PARCO Theater”. What kind of evolution did this theater, which was born in 1973 under the name "Seibu Theater" at the same time as Shibuya PARCO opened? It will be delivered along with the state of the theater announcement & opening series press conference with luxurious people.

"Premium Theater" allows you to feel a sense of unity with the stage from any seat.
The PARCO Theater, which was born in 1973, is a pioneer in production performances. There are about 1,200 works created by theater staff and creators with their knees without an artistic director.
And the newly reborn PARCO Theater has evolved into a more creative theater while inheriting the past genealogy. The stage allows dynamic production depending on the depth and ceiling height. There are 636 seats.

The new PARCO Theater opened on January 24 (Friday). Following the performance of the second repertoire from the time of the former PARCO Theater, the “PARCO Theater Opening Series” will start.
In the opening series, a total of 14 works have been performed over a year, starting with "Pissarro" starring Ken Watanabe, which starts on March 13 (Friday). At the press conference held with Takashi Fujii, who is also on the stage of the opening series, 21 creators and actors from 14 works were on stage.

"The expression of Legend is exaggerated, but I would like to start the new PARCO Theater like this," said Ken Watanabe, who said, "The new PARCO Theater started like this."

"Pissarro" was performed at the former PARCO Theater in 1985, starring Tsutomu Yamazaki, the first installment of the opening series following the kokerashi performance. The new starring is Ken Watanabe, who was also included in the cast during the performance in 1985.
This work is based on the conquest of the Inca Empire, in which the completed Spanish general Pisssarro captured the King of the Inca Empire with 167 soldiers, but Ken Watanabe at the time of 1985 performed enthusiastically at Atawarupa, the king of Inca. This time, Miyazawa Ice Fish, an up-and-coming with both delicateness and boldness, was selected for Atawalpa.
When Ken Watanabe says, "The PARCO Theater is an epoch theater in my actor's life," Miyazawa Ice Fish says, "There is pressure, but I want to enjoy it and try it on a per-body basis." And with the gorgeous casts who solidify their sides, the masterpiece called the "legendary stage" is revived.

The schedule coincides with the upcoming Tokyo Olympics, but if you are not interested in sports, please come (laughs)" and "Mitani-bushi" exploded, "I feel the trust of PARCO who asked for a performance at such a time. "I want to respond to my honour," he said.

We look forward to seeing the finest entertainment from Shibuya and begging for the "new culture" built by PARCO Theater!
As a pioneer in production performances, PARCO Theater has continued to transmit new stage culture from the land of Shibuya. There must be a new culture from this place. By all means, I would like you to visit the opening series and check with your eyes.
