Kyogen and Reading Performance - Tenshu-Monogatari

Nougaku (No and Kyogen) is a Japanese traditional art, which was recognized as part of their intangible cultural heritage by UNESCO in 2001. Kyogen is a traditional Japanese entertainment comedy, which has 600 years of proud history.  It is usually staged on a specific type of stage called Noh-stage.  Stage set pieces are rarely used, and lighting changes, recorded sound, and microphones are never used.  The actors rely on words, movements, and minimal props to tell the story.
