Maze maze
The festival's core concept for 2023 is the Japanese word maze maze literally meaning ‘mix mix’. This year’s lineup features experimental performing arts works that allow us to consider language, identity and culture as maze maze; as a mix of things. By considering these things as changeable, fluid and plural; for example by considering how languages or individual identities constantly change and intermingle, we believe we can reconsider the present in a multitude of different ways.

Theater
A performing arts festival held in Kyoto since 2010, we invite radical artists from Japan and abroad to present work that transcends genres such as theater, dance, music, and visual art. Dedicated to imagining, producing and sharing experimental performing arts the festival aims to explore and create new dialogues and values in society. The festival consists of three programs: Kansai Studies, Shows and Super Knowledge for the Future [SKF].
Kansai Studies
A program that researches the Kansai region, where the festival is rooted, from an artist’s perspective and aims to cultivate a foundation for future creation. Check out the research process anytime on our special Kansai Studies website!
Shows
A lineup of experimental performing arts and exhibitions from around the world. We introduce radical artists whose work we believe should be experienced now.
Super Knowledge
for the Future [SKF]
A series of talks and workshops by various experts beyond the world of art. Think about experimental forms of expression in conjunction with all kinds of topics and get a fresh awareness of issues or a new perspective on the future!
