Advanced registration is required.\n\nWHAT IS NOH?\n\n\n© HALCA\n\nThe foundation of Noh was established in the 14th century. Bearing both religious and entertainment elements\, it was performed at such varied places as temples\, castles and riversides\, attracting a great many spectators. Gradually\, Noh became popular among politicians and the nobility in Kyoto\, the capital city of the era\, transforming into a performing art of exquisite elegance that has come to represent Japanese spirit and the aesthetic world. Most pieces are adapted from classic literature and revolve around the universal themes of gods and man\, love and war\, fate; thereby finding an audience of all ages even till today. The combination of well-trained movements\, evocative music\, ornamental masks\, and refined costumes result in an immersive theatrical experience unlike any other.\nFUNA-BENKEI | BENKEI IN A BOAT\n\n\n© HALCA\n\nIn 12th century Japan\, conflict erupted between the Heike and Minamoto clans. Although Minamoto no Yoshitsune contributed significantly to the annihilation of the Heike clan on behalf of his elder brother\, Minamoto no Yoritomo\, he was deposed for fear of vying for power.\nThe play begins with Yoshitsune going into exile to the far west of Kyoto with his retainer\, Benkei\, and other followers. His mistress\, Lady Shizuka\, initially accompanied the group\, but had to withdraw from the arduous journey. Full of sorrow\, she performed a dance praying for Yoshitsune?s safe return. Yoshitsune and company soon sailed out\, but were struck by a violent storm and attacked by ghosts of the Heike clan who were killed in battle. Yoshitsune fought back valiantly while Benkei prayed\, and eventually the deadly ghouls disappeared beneath the waves.\nSOICHIRO HAYASHI | Shite (シテ方 / principal actor)\, Kanze school of Noh\n\n\n© Atsushi Hitomi\n\nBorn in 1979\, Soichiro is the 14th-generation Noh master of the Hayashi family\, which belongs to Kyo Kanze Gokenya (The Five Kanze Families of Kyoto). He studied under his father\, the 13th Noh master Kiemon Hayashi\, and Kiyokazu Kanze\, the 26th grandmaster of the Kanze School.\nMaking his stage debut at the age of three\, he held his first independent showcase in 2012. In 2013\, he founded Soichiro no Kai to produce his own performances. The next year saw him being selected for his hometown?s special encouragement programme for arts and culture.\nIn addition to serving as a local omonetashi (hospitality) ambassador\, Soichiro also teaches Noh chanting and dance at studios in Kyoto\, Tokyo\, Okayama\, and Tottori.\nOfficial website: hayashi-soichiro.jp[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width="1/6"][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css=".vc_custom_1655778872348{padding-bottom: 20px !important;}"][vc_column width="1/2"][vc_column_text]\nCAST\nMae-shite (first half lead) | Shizuka-gozen (Lady Shizuka)\nNochi-shite (second half lead) | The ghost of Taira no Tomomori\nSoichiro HAYASHI\nTsure (companion to shite) | Minamoto no Yoshitsune\nTakanobu SAKAGUCHI\nWaki (supporting cast) | Musashibo Benkei\nTsutomu KOBAYASHI\nWaki-tsure (companion to waki) | The followers of Yoshitsune\nRyoichi ARIMATSU\nAi-kyogen (interlude cast) | Boatman\nIppei Shigeyama\nFlute\nManabu TAKEICHI\nSmall drum\nSeiichi IIDA[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width="1/2"][vc_column_text]\nBig drum\nHirotada KAMEI\nSide bass drum\nMitsunori MAEKAWA\nChorus\nYoshimasa KANZE\nHaruhisa KAWAMURA\nHiromichi TAMOI\nKohei KAWAGUCHI\nKotaro KAWAMURA\nChisato JUGE\nStage attendants\nSmall drum\nSeiichi IIDA\nStage manager\nMidori OHTANI\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]\n
