What's Going On Nagoya? Sept. 9

September in Nagoya is shaping up to be unhinged—in the best possible way.

The creative scene is on fire right now. The legendary Foreign Artists Exhibition hits its 40th milestone this October, and they want YOU (yes, you reading this while pretending to work). Submissions are open NOW—this is your shot to be part of Nagoya's most enduring international art tradition.

This Friday, Peruvian guitar wizard Vali Cáceres brings his musical fusion to Cedars, with beloved local performer Lesley Bartlett also on the bill for a night that promises to melt genres and blow minds.

The International Rooftop Party got so wild they literally outgrew their venue—now relocated to handle the chaos on September 21st. Consider yourself warned.

And because normal is overrated, catch "Scenes from a Bad Film Lived Out in Real Time" (Sept 27-28)—a performance piece that is exactly as bizarre as its title suggests.

Your September social calendar just wrote itself. You're welcome!

The party that literally outgrew its venue! What started as a rooftop gathering has exploded into Nagoya's most anticipated international bash.

Scenes from a Bad Film Lived Out in Real Time

What happens when theater abandons all pretense of making sense? You get this beautifully unhinged performance piece that's part experimental theater, part fever dream, part social experiment. Two nights of controlled chaos where the line between performer and audience dissolves into glorious confusion. If you've ever wanted to experience what it's like inside a David Lynch film, here's your chance.
