Populated by wily servants, self-important lords, larger than life mountain ascetics, city slickers, and country bumpkins, this Japanese medieval comic form is as accessible to 21st century global audiences as it has been to Japanese crowds for 600 years. While comedy brings much needed laughter into our lives, it has also long been a gently yet effective way of delivering political and social criticism. This production will stage a wide array of kyogen plays, from classical to newly written, including a 芒鈧揌awai芒鈧劉i kyogen芒鈧 that will leave you laughing 芒鈧 and thinking 芒鈧 about some important current issues facing us today.
