Overview
editThe theatre was a 360-degree revolving amphitheatre, with a system similar to the SceneAround system used in TheaterHangaar, which the audience would be revolving around a 360-degree stage from scene to scene.[2] Up to four stages can be built simultaneously. The theatre was operated by TBS Television.[3]
The first performance was held on 30 March 2017, with Kazuki Nakashima's acclaimed samurai drama “Dokurojo no Shichinin” (“Seven Souls in the Skull Castle”). IHI Corporation acquired the naming rights of the theatre.[3]
2023 would be last season of the theatre,[4] with the closure announced to be in April 2024. Itochu Property Development and Sankei Building would be redeveloping the area into "CREVIA BASE Tokyo".[5]
