Featuring a Yamabushi mountain priest, his porter and the spirit of crab (Kani), Kani Yamabushi is a classic Kyogen piece in English, and is one of the many fruitful outcomes of the week-long kyogen training provided by Iida Go sensei from the Mansaku-no-kai Kyogen Company this past April.
Fusing traditional Noh music and chants with mid-20th century Viennese music and western choral traditions, In a Memory Palace is a tale of immigration and loss, survival and resilience. Written by Yugen’s long-time friend Edith Newton, IAMP is directed by Theatre Nohgaku’s founding member and Yugen’s former artistic director Jubilith Moore.
This special edition of Yugen no Kai is going to be a unique intercultural experience to appreciate Nohgaku (Noh & Kyogen) à la mode, only in San Francisco!
