What's Going On Nagoya? October 23

Nagoya's undisputed Halloween champion returns to MAGO and VIO with South Korean DJ MAR VISTA, gravity-defying drag queens, and 14 dance crews ready to make your Daiso devil horns weep.

This is where the underground comes to play, and your sexy cat costume won't cut it!

Nagoya's longest-running international art show celebrates four decades of creative rebellion at NIC (Oct 28–Nov 2).

Free admission to wander three floors of paintings, sculptures, and digital wizardry from artists representing 30+ countries.

No pretentious gallery vibes—just accessible art and actual conversations with the creators!

Theatre Iridescence is having auditions for its 2026 bilingual staging of Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing. No experience? No problem. They want diversity across age, gender, and acting ability.

Auditions Nov 16 run like a mock rehearsal—collaborative, low-pressure, and more about play than perfection.
