About this event

KYOTO EXPERIMENT (Kyoto International Performing Arts Festival) is one of Asia’s leading contemporary performing arts festivals, showcasing bold and innovative theatre, dance, music, visual art, and interdisciplinary performances from Japan and around the world.

Held across multiple venues throughout Kyoto each autumn, the festival invites audiences to experience thought-provoking works that challenge convention and explore contemporary social issues.

While KYOTO EXPERIMENT is not an LGBTQ-specific festival, its programme regularly explores themes of identity, gender, sexuality, the body, and social inclusion through contemporary performance. Many featured artists challenge traditional ideas of gender and expression, making the festival particularly appealing to LGBTQ audiences interested in boundary-pushing art and culture.

Whether you’re an arts enthusiast or simply looking for a unique cultural experience beyond Kyoto’s temples and shrines, KYOTO EXPERIMENT offers an inspiring programme of performances, exhibitions, talks, and workshops.
