Tokyo Caravan the 2nd (in Shizuoka)

Come by, come see, come mix: it’s a cultural circus!

Tokyo Caravan the 2nd is a “cultural circus” designed to create and present performances based on new forms of expression, and formulated around playwright, director, and actor Hideki Noda’s idea that interaction between people leads to the creation of culture.

An array of expressive artists including actor Atsuko Maeda, musicians Asakusa Jinta, the Double Dutch team REG☆STYLE, puppeteer Noriyuki Sawa, artist UJINO, and artist Yasuhiro Suzuki will converge to experience the history and culture of Shizuoka, interact across genres with young people who will lead the next generation of culture, and create new expressions together.
Confirmed guests this time around include a traditional Ryukyuan dance troupe and ancient Ainu dance performers.
Expect big things from the new venture Tokyo Caravan the 2nd!

Furthermore, on the day of the performances, artist Yasuhiro Suzuki’s renowned work “Aerial Being” will put in an appearance in the plaza in front of Momijiyama Garden, Sunpu Castle Park. Visitors can enjoy this magnificent 18 meter long, 6 meter wide and 5 meter high inflatable sculpture at close quarters.
