Conceived by playwright, director, and actor Hideki Noda, this is a cultural movement based on the concept of engendering new forms of expression through the mingling of cultures brought about by encounters between a diverse array of artists. Starting in the Komazawa district of Tokyo in 2015, it has delivered genre-transcending performances in Rio de Janeiro, the Tohoku region (Sendai and Soma), Roppongi, Kyoto (Kameoka and Nijo Castle), Hachioji, Kumamoto, Toyota, Kochi, Akita, Iwaki, Saitama, Toyama, Okayama, and Hokkaido. In 2020, this project will welcome both established artists and up-and-coming figures brimming with fresh talent and the vigor of youth to create and present performances that will serve as the culmination of the six years of creative activity that have been undertaken since Tokyo Caravan’s inception as a Leading Project.
