SWAN is the name of two separate projects: a stage play adaptation of the classic ballet manga running September 2026, and a new two-man live music series launching July 2026 at MoN Takanawa.
The name SWAN currently refers to two unrelated projects announced within days of each other. The first is a stage play titled "SWAN -Ballet cross Reading-" based on the classic ballet manga. Its main visual was unveiled on May 27, 2026, featuring Hiroe Igeta and Nozomi Iijima, with swan feathers and tutus hand-drawn by original creator Kyoko Ariyoshi. The play is scheduled for September 4-9, 2026 at the New National Theatre in Tokyo. A reading cast has been announced but the full cast and production staff have not been detailed.
The second project is a music series called SWAN, launched by the experimental cultural museum MoN Takanawa in Tokyo. It is a recurring series built around two-man live performances, where each two-artist bill is treated as a single composed flow rather than separate sets. The first edition is set for July 4, 2026 at Box300, featuring Meg Bonus and Aya Noguchi, with lighting by Madoka Sato. Tickets went on sale June 6, 2026.
The two projects share a name but no confirmed connection in staff, cast, or content. The stage play draws on the existing ballet manga, while the music series is an original format from MoN Takanawa. No further editions of the music series have been announced beyond the first date.
