ricca ricca*festa 2024 closing message

Thanks to your support, ricca ricca*festa 2024 has come to a successful conclusion.

This year again, the festival was filled with smiling faces as many audience members from China, Korea, Taiwan, and other countries participated.

Inspired by our ethos – “theater is a medicine for life”, we were able to present enjoyable performances with the support of many volunteer staff members.

The team would like to express our gratitude to all who attended, supported, and cooperated.

We hope to see you again at next year’s ricca ricca*festa!
