The National Symphony Orchestra performed Ravel's 'Daphnis et Chloé Suite No. 2' and 'La Valse', capturing the sense of unease hidden behind the glamour of a wartime ball. The contrasting moods at the beginning and end felt intensified due to the war's shadow, highlighting Ravel's brilliance. Also featured is the event for the sound drama 'Crime and Punishment', which alters Dostoyevsky's novel's setting to Korean society. The performance dives into the psychological struggles of humans at the edge. Paul Bocuse's dining experience is showcased at the Tokyo National Museum, blending architecture and gastronomy. Noteworthy performances and exhibitions include the 'Going Home Project: Ravel & Shostakovich', 'Shakespeare In Love', and the ACC exhibition by sound artist Ryoji Ikeda.
