【What’s the SPAC‐ENFANTS? 】
The “SPAC-ENFANTS PROJECT” is an international cooperative production project welcoming the internationally active French choreographer and dancer, Merlin Nyakam, with the middle teens chosen through auditions from all across Shizuoka prefecture to create a new stage with the concept of “Dance that can give hope for the future back to the children of the world”. With the development of each child’s diverse originality, they have pursued a high quality dance piece whose artistic expression competes with the world.
