Devised by playwright, director, and actor Hideki Noda, this new movement aims to gather together the diverse artistic scenes of Tokyo and the rest of Japan, in order to spread the word about them. Tokyo Caravan will start out from Rio de Janeiro during the 2016 Summer Olympics before popping up in various locations both within Japan and overseas to present a “Grand Cultural Circus,” while continuously endeavoring to promote exchange that transcends the boundaries between countries and regions.
