http://mixedbathingworld.com  The  Concept  “Mixed  Bathing  World”  /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Hot water pours from the earth and collects in hollows.
These pools belong to no one.
People cherish them and take an active part in their protection and management.
Locals, travelers, men and women alike, take off their clothes and relax in the hot water,
sharing a moment of their lives unarmed, naked, and without regard to nationality or religion.
With time, though, the water becomes too hot and no one can remain. Newcomers take the placeof old, and each one goes their separate way.
Inevitably, people will leave this site, and come back again - a gradual cycle is formed.

The  Concept  “the  world  is  full  of  wonder”  ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Beppu is a port town with features reminding us of an existence of the magical world. There are
myriad doors, sometimes open, and sometimes closed. Inviting us to the world of wonder.
In homage to these sites, a verse spoken by the Greek chorus in Antigone by Sophocles,“Numberless are the world's wonders” is the theme of the festival this year.
Wondering why there emerge such wonders that language cannot explain, I see one feature of thiscity as a reason – this city of abundant hot springs, thereby floats on the water.
Regardless of gender, nationality or age—men and women, from children, adults, to old, rich andpoor—all live together in proximity to the baths.
Being a port this city sees people coming and going. Some stay only one night. Another lives forthree years. Another stays five years, leaves the city, and comes back after a long journey. One
lives here for most of a life time but eventually leaves. The water of hot springs embraces all suchdifferences and diversity.
Ungraspable, irrational, unexplainable, what the modern society has dismissed or has been trying
to exclude, all such residues remain in the bath and are kept alive in this city.
In such a city, “Mixed Bathing World” is awake with the hands and imagination of artists. This
happens only for a passing moment, only once in three years.
Since 2009, the “Mixed Bathing World” has focused on designing visitors’ experience of
encountering charms of the city by walking. In this edition we further developed this concept,
situating two exclusive tours ‘Art Gate Cruise’ and ‘Beppu Secret Night Dance Tour’ at the heartof the festival.
Art Gate Cruise is a tour that brings participants to a journey towards four destinations throughwhat I might call ‘art gates’ set by the artists. ‘Beppu Secret Night Dance Tour’ is a journey toencounter dance performances happening after darkness descends on the city. Both tours will takeparticipants to the depths of the city.
Additionally, there are programs such as ‘Wakuwaku Mixed-Bathing Apartment’ which originatedfrom the ‘Wakuwaku Mixed-Bathing Apartment’ that took place in the first edition of the festival
in 2009, and ‘Eikyu Beppu Theatre: the House of Horror’ which will attract an even wider
audience. Programs inspired by Beppu’s unique night scene such as “Mixed Bathing World
Lounge” will also return.
Please take off the clothing covering your mind and wander about in a dream of midsummernights.

Art  Gate  Cruise  Special  Beppu  Art  Tour  that  invites  you  to  wander  across  Beppu  in  another  space  and  time  Since the port of Beppu was opened in the fourth year of the Meiji era (1871), upon a proposal by an
influential politician, Masayoshi Matsukata, the city of Beppu has been transforming along with themodernization of the county. Not having been burned out by air raids, remnants of each period oftime are left within this city. Narratives, which are not of an encompassing, grand story, but those ona microscopic scale, have accumulated. Upon these accumulated layers, the present city of Beppu
rests as if it is an imaginary city, floating on the steamy waters.
In the depths of Beppu city, which is rarely accessible, artists add and alter narratives, based on theirdialogue with the site. Art Gate Cruise brings these episodes together, allowing an encounter withmemories of the city, The tour will be an extraordinary spacio-temporal experience.
