Kyogen: Traditional Comic Theater of Japan Yamamoto Kyogen Company
Three hundred years before Jonathan Swift, satire thrived in the form of kyogen, the Japanese comedic theater. Literally mad words, kyogen originated during the samurai era and features humorous stories of daily life laced with biting social satire directed against the samurai class that was the main audience for the plays. Led by Yamamoto Noritoshi—designated as an Intangible Cultural Asset by the Japanese government—Yamamoto Kyogen offers two kyogen comedies:
Shido Hogaku (Stop in Your Tracks): The classic kyogen tale of a master-servant relationship turned on its head. A servant is sent by his callous master on a shameful errand, and, in his spite, the servant vows to get his revenge. Hijinks ensue as the two engage in a riotous reversal of station, with the servant getting the last laugh.
Tsukimi Zato (Moon-viewing Blind Man): A farce in which a blind man meets a passerby on the road while enjoying a full moon and quickly becomes the object of a cruel trick perpetrated by the stranger.
In Japanese with English subtitles.
Pre-Performance Lecture
With Samuel L. Leiter, Distinguished Professor Emeritus of Theatre, Brooklyn College, CUNY and the Graduate Center, CUNY. One hour before all showtimes, free to ticket holders.
Kyoto Event: Takigi Noh at Heian Shrine 2017 [4K]
On June 1st and 2nd, 2017, the 68th Annual Takigi Noh performance took place at Heian Shrine in Kyoto, the ancient capital of Japan. A Fantastic Tour of Kyoto Powerspots was the theme of this year's performance, and through the stately traditional dance and song the audience was transported to famous locations such as Kiyomizu-dera, Fushimi Inari Taisha, Nonomiya Shrine, Kurama-dera, and the Kamo Shrines. Get a taste of noh, the oldest style of Japanese theater still practiced today, through selected scenes from the plays Kamo, Tamura, and Shari, performed by the Kanze and Kongō schools of noh, as well as the more comedic kyōgen via Kurama Mairi performed by the Ōkura school.
Takigi Noh is an event not to be missed if you find yourself in Kyoto in June, so make sure to check Discover Kyoto and book your tickets in advance!

JapanFest 2016 - Kabuki Entertainment Group Miyabi-ya Japan (Theater Performance)
Filmed at JapanFest 2016 ( at the Gwinnett Center in Duluth, GA.
For the 30th anniversary of JapanFest the Kabuki troop Miyabi-ya ( performed short section from the tale of Renjishi.
The story depicts the severe physical training the shishi cub must undergo at the hand of its parent. In order to foster courage and strength the parent kicks its young over the edge of the ravine and must wait anxiously to see if the cub can climb back up again. This is said to be a great test of the actor's abilities for he must portray fatherly love as well as a strict sense of discipline.
The pair of Kyôgen actors dance the story of the shishi parent and cub, one with white hair representing the parent shishi and the other with red hair to represent its child. A shishi is a mythological lion-like animal said to be the king of beasts and always associated with the Buddhist deity Monju. For this reason, any portrayal of the shishi should not only bring out its wild, beastial nature, but also a sense of dignity and authority that goes with this divine status. The shishi is in many ways a spiritual creature.
