Access: Free access

Thu Feb 13 19:00 – 21:00 Mirror Tent at Gropius Park

Join us for an extraordinary event at EFM 2025 that blends live music, authentic ninja action, traditional Japanese storytelling, and cinematic innovation into a unique experience of Renchain Drama/連鎖劇. This groundbreaking performance combines the dynamic energy of live drumming, the precision of ninja choreography, and the artistry of film, creating an unforgettable fusion of art forms.

The evening begins with a captivating live performance by Tetsuya Kajiwara, the legendary drummer of the iconic Japanese rock band THE BLUE HEARTS. His powerful drumming will set the stage alongside stunning ninja action sequences, complemented by the appearances of traditional Japanese storytellers (benshi/弁士) and mystical onmyoji/陰陽師 characters. Together, they bring Japan's classical film techniques to life in a modern and globally accessible way.

Following the live performance, we will present an exclusive showcase of the film Momotaro 0/桃太郎0. This highly anticipated project reimagines Japan's cultural heritage through innovative storytelling and seeks to bridge the gap between tradition and modernity in cinema.

The event will conclude with an interactive discussion and networking session, providing attendees with an opportunity to exchange ideas, explore potential collaborations, and connect with our creative team. We aim to partner with like-minded industry professionals to bring this unique blend of traditional and contemporary content to the global stage.

Whether you're a buyer, distributor, or creative collaborator, this event offers a platform to witness the convergence of music, action, and cinema. Don’t miss this opportunity to experience the future of storytelling and connect with visionary creators at EFM 2025.
