Details
Established in 2010, this festival brings together diverse artistic expressions from Japan and abroad to create new possibilities through dialogue. The event is divided into three main programs: "Kansai Studies," which researches the local region to build a foundation for future creation; "Shows," presenting a lineup of experimental performances and exhibitions from around the world; and "Super Knowledge for the Future [SKF]," a series of talks and workshops investigating the connection between experimental performing arts and various non-artistic topics. The festival aims to use the performing arts space to share memories and stories with the audience, resisting societal division and conflict.
