THE FESTIVAL
|
NIPPON CULTURE As every year, our cultural program invites you to experience Japanese culture with all your senses. With our main feature “Sounds”, NIPPON CULTURE takes you on a journey into the acoustic worlds of Japan. Atmospheric sound installations, entertaining radio plays, a koto concert, energetic taiko rhythms and a concert with a silent movie will inspire new discoveries. Live feeds from film makers and the nightlife of Tokyo will turn the festival center into a forum of virtual encounters, thus offering an intense intercultural exchange. Interaction of another sort awaits you with the revival of “Late Lounge”, the cult TV-program, featuring Roberto Cappelluti and Jörg Buttgereit. What’s more, Nippon Culture gives you various opportunities to test yourself: starting with our butoh workshop of international fame, continuing with a very special incense ceremony or a cooking workshop. Our cultural program is completed by an exhibit of contemporary Japanese video art as well as by lectures, interviews with film makers and, of course, the legendary festival parties.
