"Kyogen" is a performing art and storytelling that makes you laugh at the humorous interaction between the two, which is said to have developed independently in the Kinki region, based on the ancient Manzai that began in the Heian period. Rakugo, Kyogen, and Manzai, which were born in different times and have achieved their own development and evolution, will be introduced at the sacred place of Noh and Kyogen, "25th Kanze Sakon Memorial Kanze Noh Theater", in the era of Reiwa. It will be a live that you can enjoy.
From the rakugo world, Bunchin Katsura, a legend who continues to convey rakugo as a world pop culture, not as a Japanese culture, will appear from a novel perspective. From the Kyogen world, five up-and-coming young Kyogen masters, Taichiro Nomura, who stood on the stage of the Kanze Noh Theater in the new Noh play "Snow White" will be on stage this spring. And from the manzai world, the Nakagawake, the first champion of the M-1 Grand Prix, the milk boy of the 15th champion, and the shocking farce warrior Suehirogariz, who mixed manzai and kyogen, are on the prestigious stage of Kanze Noh Theater. , Show off the first manzai. In the early spring of 2021, please enjoy the hybrid laughter that transcends time and space, which did not seem to exist, but was realized because of this era.
