Spirit Mambo: Sonic Ritual of Liberation

We invite all our friends in and around Tokyo to join us for the premiere of “Spirit Mambo: Sonic Ritual of Liberation”, presented as part of Trolls in the Park 2026, celebrating its 25th anniversary.

Spirit Mambo is a multimedia performance combining short film, live music, videomapping, and performance.

On the annual night when spirits return to the world of the living, witches help earthbound ghosts join the spectral procession before dawn through a musical ritual.
