Exotic dancing. Nonsensical poetry. Harsh electronic noise. Doughnuts. These are just some of the manifold sights and sounds you'll find on the bill at Paint Your Teeth, a bimonthly performance art event in Tokyo.

"PYT is billed as 'a celebration of experimental music, literature and dance,' " explains organizer David Hoenigman. "I like the acts to be experimental in some fashion, so experimental writing or experimental music. I like acts that are visually dynamic — crazy costumes and whatnot, the more bizarre the better."

Now approaching its "terrible twos," Hoenigman's brainchild was originally conceived of as a bit of fun.
