Educational Event Noh Theatre with Grand Master Kiyokazu Kanze for Berlin school students
Concert information
Info
Following the guest performance on 21.9., Grand Master Kiyokazu Kanze will offer unique insights into the world of Noh theatre as part of an education event for Berlin pupils. As one of the oldest performing arts in the world, Noh was perfected in the 14th century by the artist Kan’ami and his son Zeami and has been survived almost unchanged to the present day, a period of some 700 years. As a musical theatre artform, Noh theatre combines singing, dancing and instrumental music. In poetic stories where dreams and reality meet along with the living and spirits, actors in Noh masks reveal the action in elegant, stylised movements. Its unique aesthetic and spirituality have had a lasting influence on European art and music. Noh was added to UNESCO’s intangible cultural heritage list in 2008.
