Show Tickets at Non-Verbal Theatre GEAR

Wow! It's a remarkable feat when you can create original content, unlike anything before, and that's exactly what GEAR has accomplished. I felt transported to another world entirely, one where words didn't need to exist in order to feel every emotion. Everything was perfectly executed from the extraordinary lighting and staging design to the costuming, storytelling, and acting. My husband and I would see this show again in a heartbeat! Thank you GEAR for an evening we won't forget and for creating a show that is truly magical.

It was way better than what I had anticipated!
You get completely absorbed in this amazing fantasy themed world. The amount of emotions enacted by robots is both cute and heartfelt, and you wish to kind of remain with them forever. The actors are amazingly skilled, not only in acting, but in their individual talent as well which came as a surprise! It was a truly magical and mesmerizing experience, and I would definitely recommend it to everyone!

GEAR was a really unique performance that incorporates music, light, and movement to tell a story that can be enjoyed by people from anywhere. Was a highlight of my time in Kyoto and I highly recommend it!!

Yoko, front of house staff, was so nice and accommodating to me and my husband when we were looking for a show in Kyoto after dinner. I had emailed GEAR in the morning to see if there was any availability for 2 tickets in the evening, and I received an email within an hour! I was not expecting a reply so quickly, and I was pleasantly surprised that there were 2 tickets available from Yoko. When my husband and I arrived to the theater, Yoko was so sweet with us and provided two seats as she promised in her email. In fact, the seats were awesome and we had a great view. Actually, all seats would be a good seat since it's a smaller theater.

Now, to the show...AWESOME! As many reviewers comment, no need to understand Japanese to enjoy this show. The cast is 5 people who shows us their talent while telling a very moving story. At the end of the show, my husband and I were impressed by the show and spent the rest of the night interpreting different parts of the show over drinks. This is kid-friendly, but my husband and I enjoyed it very much and would see it again when we are in Kyoto (or if they ever tour in the States!).

Lovely change of pace from temple viewing! Lovely evening with unique story with talented people. As mentioned we went to an evening showing but I believe they do a day showing if you'd rather, either way I'd recommended going lovely breathe of fresh air. I don't want to write too much as I don't want to ruin the experience.

It's clear they have been working on this same show for years - it's incredibly polished and well done. Everything from the story, set, performances, effects and music works together to create a very powerful experience. I will certainly return to show my friends and family.

The non-verbal GEAR performance was a surprisingly interesting and unique experience. It’s a mixed arts performance that makes great use of set, lighting, and digital art to really enhance the show. The performers are excellent, and the message/concept of the show is thoughtful and interesting. The show has no single director, it says that the director is their patrons. After each show, they ask for feedback (also in English), and actually build and implement any changes they see may enhance the show into future shows. (And they have been doing this since the beginning of the show years ago.) Highly recommended show while in Kyoto.

We noticed the prop car outside the theatre with the promo material. “Non verbal” it said and also “In the wastelands of the future....robots...”. It had a very Alice in Wonderland feel and we decided that we must buy tickets right away. Despite the fact that there was no talking at the play, it was very funny and emotional. As others have said before, kids and older people, all were laughing their hearts out and everyone seemed to enjoy it. It was really magic. We loved it! Would go again next time we visit Japan.

We came with no expectations and our minds were blown. The performers were amazing. The stage looks awesome and the effects were on point! If you're not going, you're missing out! Thank you Gear for an awesome show. I'll come again when I come back to kyoto!
