Held on December 20, 2023 "Bentenya" enters the US market with a film screening

Nagoya's chindon troupe Bentenya, a group of seven women, received an offer from America to star in a film. We spoke to Susie, who organizes the performance, to find out why they were chosen to star in the film and how it all came about. In fact, this is not Bentenya's first foray overseas; they have attempted to perform overseas many times in the past, in Italy, London, Ukraine, Vietnam, and America. It seems that the personal connections they made at that time led to this latest film appearance, via a strange route.
