Description
Tessenkai is a public-service corporation based in the Tessenkai Noh-play training institute in south Aoyama. We regularly put on Noh and Kyogen performances at the Hosho Noh Theatre and the National Noh Theatre, we also endeavor to popularize these traditional theatrical styles as much as possible. Regardless of age or gender, we would like to raise people’s interest in this rich, traditional performance-art that Japan is world-famous for. To that end we hold events for school children of all ages and for children and parents, so they can experience and learn to appreciate Noh theatre. We also give lectures with the guidance of Noh performers, so that school teachers can give lessons about Noh and help their students to appreciate the art form. Apart from classical works we also stage new works, reproductions and proactively participate in overseas productions. Noh is a classical performing-art that can be said to be the culmination of ancient Japanese and medieval culture, while at the same time it can be seen as a performing-arts that still speaks to us in the present day, sharply depicting the human condition. We hope that you will be able to come and enjoy the world of Noh and Kyogen at least once.
