東京キャラバン in 熊本（2017年） 撮影：宮井正樹
The Tokyo 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games are not only a celebration of sports but also of culture. Tokyo Caravan is one of the official Cultural Olympiad initiatives. Spearheaded by director Hideki Noda, the Tokyo Caravan cultural movement has continued to develop performances based on new and unique forms of expression since it began in 2015. A diverse array of artists across languages, borders and artistic genres are invited to participate, creating a “mingling of cultures” between artists and performers whose paths have mostly never crossed before.
The concept of Tokyo Caravan resonates with dramaturg and Kinoshita Kabuki head Yuichi Kinoshita, who is joining the project for the first time as Leading Artist for “Tokyo Caravan in Kochi.”
