Since its launch in 2010, Kyoto Experiment has steadily come to rival, if not even surpass, Festival/Tokyo as the nation's leading annual showcase for cutting-edge performances.
Year on year, its vigor and cultural vibrancy have attracted growing audiences of both new and longstanding theatergoers from western Japan, as well as ever more from Tokyo and beyond.
