The Cerulean Tower Noh Theatre will be staging a series of Noh performances throughout July.
Established in Shibuya in 2001, the the theatre's July schedule will feature performances from the Kita, Komparu, Kanze and Hosho schools. A final workshop on kyogen - a form of comic relief theatre staged between Noh acts - will be held by the Izumi school.
As one of the world's most surreal and elegant art forms, Japanese Noh has been designated by UNESCO as an Intangible Cultural Heritage with a history of over 700 years. The traditions of story, music, dance and costume enshrined in Noh theatre - to say nothing of its ethereal masks - still captivate audiences around the country to this day.
Note that each performance has a different pricing structure so be sure to check the official website for details.
