Junnosuke Tada
Director and Head of the theatrical company Tokyo Deathlock. Tada’s work spans a wide range of genres, including classics, contemporary plays, dance pieces, and community-based projects with local participation. He has served as the artistic director of public theaters, the art director for local governments, and the director of international performing arts festivals. His extensive activities include international exchange programs, workshops, and production projects with all generations—from children to seniors—at theaters, schools, and other facilities, as well as community engagement programs. He became the first foreign recipient of the Award for Best Direction at the 50th Dong-A Theatre Awards in South Korea for the Japan-Korea co-production of Karumegi. He is also a part-time lecturer at Joshibi University of Art and Design and Shikoku Gakuin University.

Through the power of performing arts, such as theater and dance, we offer programs tailored to a wide range of audiences under the theme of “Encounter, Discovery, and Creation.” Like a Rubik’s Cube, we aim to combine the different facets of individuals and the theater, blending elements such as “self × artist (performing arts) × others” to create intersections, expand perspectives, and generate new values.
