Kyoto Experiment 2016

Kyoto Experiment takes place 3-27 March 2016. The international performing arts festival Kyoto Experiment transmits culture from Kyoto out across the world. Now with a new venue in the form of ROHM Theatre Kyoto, the sixth festival includes leading new artists destined for the theater history books of the future and continues to be inspired by an unflagging experimental spirit. In the as-yet unseen expression, bold experiments, and critically rich schemes, all brought to us by the artists’ talent, there resides the excitement of encounters with the unknown.
