NOH-OPERA "MACBETH"
Presented & Produced by
Akiko
Asai (New York) and JOSEI-NOH Project Committee
(Japan)
|
| -the attempt is to translate the indispensable musical elements found in Noh which is Japanese traditional theatre into western music. Adopting Shakespeare's drama, Japan's young traditional performers embark on a new interpretation of a Noh play as a theatrical art. Performers of Noh play and Japanese dancers demonstrate their art, opera singers sing, and percussionists and a pianist accompany the other performers. This project is an experimental contemporary Noh-performance set in the hybrid city of New York. It expresses the current moment of Japanese culture.
