"To borrow a term from technology, mastering Kyogen is just like program designing."
Born into a family of Kyogen luminaries, NOMURA Mansai began his stage performances at the tender age of three, and has since transformed Kyogen into a versatile art form that thrives both in the realms of traditional arts and the contemporary film and television industries.
At its core, Kyogen is characterized by its humor, lightness, and satirical commentary on everyday life, adeptly capturing human vulnerabilities and absurdities. It requires minimal props, allowing for performances in any setting, yet demands precise and succinct verbal and physical articulation. The task of embedding the "form" into one’s consciousness and body is no small feat.
Explore Call Cue to discover how Kyogen has progressed from a widely cherished folk art form to its esteemed status as an intangible cultural heritage today!
