This is a rare chance for Seattle audiences to see the Noh play, Tomoe, performed in traditional style by Munenori Takeda, one of Japan’s best-known Noh artists, and the Takeda Noh Troupe. Deriving from the classic Japanese epic, “Tales of the Heike,” Tomoe tells the moving story of the famous 12th-century woman warrior, Tomoe Gozen, and her ill-fated love for her master,Yoshinaka. In addition to Tomoe, the program will include Seattle’s own Garrett Fisher, who pays tribute to the universal qualities of Noh with his original work, Yoshinaka. It was inspired by the beauty of this classical theatre form and draws from the same Noh play, Tomoe.
For those who enjoy visiting the Seattle Japanese Garden, JACLab is pleased to present a special sunset Noh performance by Munenori Takeda through the generous support of the Japan World Exposition 1970 Commemorative Fund, the Toshiba International Foundation, the Japanese Garden Advisory Council, and Seattle Parks and Recreation.
This special performance by Munenori Takeda is also made possible through the worldwide sponsor of Noh and Opera, Five Senses, Inc.
