Deaf Puppet Theater "Hikari" successfully completed its 14th national tour performance, "Kawa no Warabe" (River Child), in Kawasaki City. The performance was a challenge for the theater company, as it was their first time performing in Kawasaki City in 13 years and their first time creating a "viewing party" with local residents. The company is now reflecting on the performance and gathering feedback to improve the show for their upcoming national tour.

The theater company also recently performed overseas in Taiwan, marking their first international performance in about 10 years. The performance was well-received, with many children in attendance on Taiwan's Children's Day. The company was impressed by the audience's enthusiasm and interest in Japanese culture, and they realized the importance of understanding and respecting local customs and sign language.

The company's members are now looking forward to their national tour, where they will perform "Kawa no Warabe" in various regions. They hope to create a fun and engaging experience for their audiences and to promote greater understanding and appreciation of sign language and deaf culture.
