Produced by GEA Live, this first-ever headline show in The Netherlands will be a true multisensory experience, recreating the world of Chainsaw Man through Ushio’s visceral, glitch-infused beats and Wada’s immersive projections inspired by the series’ bold, beautiful, and bloody imagery.

Available only on Crunchyroll, the global anime streaming brand, Chainsaw Man is based on Tatsuki Fujimoto’s ultra-popular dark fantasy/action manga and narrates the story of Denji, a young boy who works as a Devil Hunter with the “Chainsaw Devil” Pochita. One day, as he was living his miserable life trying to pay off the debt he inherited from his parents, he got betrayed and killed. As he was losing his consciousness, he made a deal with Pochita, and got resurrected as the “Chainsaw Man”: the owner of the Devil’s heart.
