The core concept of this year’s Kyoto Experiment (KEX) is “maze maze,” a Japanese mimetic term that evokes the idea of mixing. The performing arts festival’s co-directors — Yoko Kawasaki, Yuya Tsukahara and Juliet Reiko Knapp — invite participants to “consider language, identity, and culture as changeable, fluid, and plural” through a lineup of 11 performance works.
