The new theater, IMM THEATER, is a project planned by TOKYO DOME CORPORATION and LIVE FORWARD Co., Ltd., a group company of YOSHIMOTO KOGYO HOLDINGS Co., Ltd., as a new venue for theater and entertainment in Tokyo Dome City.
The aim is to create the excitement, cheerfulness, joy, and laughter of the audience that the new theater is intended to inspire. The entire building was designed to express the excitement of being surrounded by spotlights on stage, with a rope-like design created for both the exterior and interior.
Using the concept of a curtain call, the colorful and bold ropework on the exterior represents the expression of the curtain fabric between the stage and the audience, and the superimposed pattern of spotlights hitting it, creating a design that allows for the theater’s interior to be felt from the exterior as well.
The main entrance is designed to be open to the city by reducing the volume at the corner of the building and inviting people in from there. The design is simple, yet captivating.
The interior design draws the colorful ropework design from the exterior into the foyer, conveying a colorful and exciting story that contrasts with the monochromatic interior. The color of the seats in the theater also matches the ropes to create consistency in the design.
