Live Events

Kansai TV presents an exciting line up of live events and performing arts. Over the years, Kansai TV has produced, organized and promoted large scale events and performing arts to cater for all audiences.

Kansai TV has organized ten Japan tours of the dynamic dance entertainment shows “Burn the Floor” and “Floorplay”, to a total audience of near 500,000!

Kansai TV also supports and sponsors the classic and traditional arts. We have organized Japan tours of the Paris Opera, Teatro San Carlo of Napoli and Teatro Verdi Trieste, and the "Osaka Heisei Nakamura-za" with star Kabuki actor Nakamura Kanzaburo in an Edo period Kabuki theatre.

We also hold the hugely popular Cirque du Soleil performances in Osaka, and recently held the immensely successful "Tutankhamun and the Golden Age of the Pharaohs" exhibition in Osaka.

Kansai TV continues to bring you the best in live entertainment!

The House of the Master Thief

April 11 (Sat)– June 14(Sun)

Thieves may be condemned as wrongdoers, yet they’ve appeared in stories across times and cultures. Sometimes they’re superhuman talents, mysterious heroes, or even lovable bunglers. Why do we find ourselves drawn to them—sometimes even cheering them on?

This exhibition invites you to sneak into the home of a legendary “master thief” who’s gone out for one last heist. The gallery unfolds across eight rooms—corridors, a parlor, a secret chamber, and more—filled with portraits of famous thieves, disguises, books, and artworks, each adding to the intrigue. Who really lives here? And can you make it out of the master thief’s house in one piece? As you explore, use the clues in each room to imagine who this elusive figure might be.

We’d love to welcome you to this immersive experience—come enjoy the charm and mystery of thieves, and the quirks of human nature, in a fresh new way.
