In September 2023, The Galloway Agreement and Tom Pow took their theatre show about rural depopulation, The Village and The Road, to Japan to perform at Bird Theatre, Shikano, as part of the Bird Theatre Festival.

Below is a gallery of photographs from the trip, and some translated comments from the post show talks, which contain many memories of rural life in Japan.

The talks are here:

This trip was partly funded by Creative Scotland, for which we are very grateful.
