About OCC
A new art complex conceived by director KOIKE Hiroshi after 44 years of creative work spanning over 40 countries. From Pappa TARAHUMARA (1982–2012) to the KOIKE Hiroshi Bridge Project-ODYSSEY (2012–)——a sustained practice of crossing borders, colliding and harmonizing different cultures, bodies, and genres——and now, a step beyond.
In July 2026, a physical base opens in Kiba, Tokyo.
OCC is not a conventional rental studio or theater. It is a space where thought and practice are continuously renewed together——a port of creation and experimentation for artists who embark on an “irreversible voyage,” never to return to the same place twice.
A professional space for creation and experimentation, built around generous ceiling height and an open spatial structure. Also serves as a dedicated base for intensive creative work by artists from Japan and abroad.
Genres and cultures cross, transform, and evolve. Productions of KOIKE Hiroshi’s works and the flagship program “WILD CLASSICS” form the cultural core of OCC.
A library of 44 years of footage, documentation, and directorial notes made available to the public. Workshops transmitting KOIKE Hiroshi’s methodology and body techniques are held on an ongoing basis.
With a café-bar on site, connecting artists, audiences, and supporters on equal footing. A place where people and ideas meet and transform.
Where canals and greenery remain, Kiba, Tokyo——a professional space for creation and experimentation, standing quietly apart from the city’s noise, built around generous ceiling height and an open spatial structure.
