Take a break from the summer heat at EC by joining Kodo’s Shogo Komatsuzaki, Chie Yamawaki, and Seita Saegusa for a relaxed meetup and some fun banter in a cool, indoor space. The trio will spill some behind-the-scenes stories from EC and Kodo, have a laid-back Q&A session, and more. It’s a rare chance to hang out and chat with the performers in an informal setting. Think of this as a chill lounge moment during the festival—the perfect place to recharge! *This event will be hosted in Japanese.
