SUMMARY:Takasago & Between the Stones | Wexford
DESCRIPTION:We are delighted to invite you to a rare and unique programme of classical and contemporary noh ‘Takasago & Between the Stones’ to celebrate Japan Season of Culture in the year of the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. \nNoh is a highly aesthetic classical Japanese theatre style featuring dance\, music and poetry. Acclaimed artists Teruhisa and Kinue Oshima\, and Akira Matsui\, collaborate with Jannette Cheong and Richard Emmert once again in celebration of the 2020 Japan Season of Culture. \nDate: Sunday\, 2nd February 2020\nTime: 7.30 p.m.\nVenue: The National Opera House\, High Street\, Wexford\nTickets: €25 Book here! \n \nThe programme:  \nTakasago\, written by Zeami\, is one of the most important and well known plays in the classical noh repertoire. It deals with the legend of the twin pines of Sumiyoshi and Takasago. According to legend\, the spirit of the Sumiyoshi pine travels across Osaka Bay nightly to visit his wife\, the Takasago pine\, in a bond that transcends space and time. Takasago will be performed as han-noh\, literally a “half noh”\, featuring the very quick and strong second half of the play. \nBetween the Stones is the third collaboration between author Jannette Cheong and founder of Theatre Nohgaku\, Richard Emmert\, and the second co-production with Unanico. It explores how the burden of grief turns into a celebration of life\, friendship and love\, through the healing power of gardens. The lead role will be played by Kinue Oshima\, the only professional female noh actor in the Kita school. Kinue Oshima was also the lead actor in the first Cheong-Emmert collaboration\, Pagoda (2009) – the first time that the Oshima Theatre and Theatre Nohgaku worked together on a joint production. Pagoda had its world premiere at the Southbank Centre in 2009 and went on to tour Dublin\, Oxford and Paris and then opened at the National Noh Theatre in Tokyo in 2011 and toured to Kyoto\, Beijing (at the National Centre for the Performing Arts) and Hong Kong. Pagoda was the first time for a British artist to write a new contemporary noh using classical techniques. \nBOOK NOW! \nMore information: https://www.nationaloperahouse.ie/whats-on/show/takasago-between-the-stones \nPlease see official event leaflet HERE! \n\nThis collaboration is co-produced with Unanico in association with the Oshima Theatre and Theatre Nohgaku and supported by Mitsubishi Corporation and Mitsubishi Electric and the Ireland-Japan Association.

SUMMARY:Takasago & Between the Stones | Kilkenny
DESCRIPTION:We are delighted to invite you to a rare and unique programme of classical and contemporary noh ‘Takasago & Between the Stones’ to celebrate Japan Season of Culture in the year of the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. \nNoh is a highly aesthetic classical Japanese theatre style featuring dance\, music and poetry. Acclaimed artists Teruhisa and Kinue Oshima\, and Akira Matsui\, collaborate with Jannette Cheong and Richard Emmert once again in celebration of the 2020 Japan Season of Culture. \nDate: Saturday\, 1st February 2020\nTime: 7.30 p.m.\nVenue: Watergate Theatre\, Parliament Street\, Kilkenny\nTickets: €25 – Book here! \n \nThe programme:  \nTakasago\, written by Zeami\, is one of the most important and well known plays in the classical noh repertoire. It deals with the legend of the twin pines of Sumiyoshi and Takasago. According to legend\, the spirit of the Sumiyoshi pine travels across Osaka Bay nightly to visit his wife\, the Takasago pine\, in a bond that transcends space and time. Takasago will be performed as han-noh\, literally a “half noh”\, featuring the very quick and strong second half of the play. \nBetween the Stones is the third collaboration between author Jannette Cheong and founder of Theatre Nohgaku\, Richard Emmert\, and the second co-production with Unanico. It explores how the burden of grief turns into a celebration of life\, friendship and love\, through the healing power of gardens. The lead role will be played by Kinue Oshima\, the only professional female noh actor in the Kita school. Kinue Oshima was also the lead actor in the first Cheong-Emmert collaboration\, Pagoda (2009) – the first time that the Oshima Theatre and Theatre Nohgaku worked together on a joint production. Pagoda had its world premiere at the Southbank Centre in 2009 and went on to tour Dublin\, Oxford and Paris and then opened at the National Noh Theatre in Tokyo in 2011 and toured to Kyoto\, Beijing (at the National Centre for the Performing Arts) and Hong Kong. Pagoda was the first time for a British artist to write a new contemporary noh using classical techniques. \nBOOK NOW! \n\n**SPECIAL OFFER – Book Performance and Mask Making Workshop for €30** \nUse Promo Code: nohoffer2020 when booking your tickets! \nFor more information\, please contact Watergate Theatre directly: 056 7761674 \n \n\nMore information: https://watergatetheatre.ie/watergate_events/takasago-between-the-stones-2/ \nPlease see official event leaflet HERE! \n\nThis collaboration is co-produced with Unanico in association with Oshima Theatre and Theatre Nohgaku and supported by Mitsubishi Corporation and Mitsubishi Electric and the Ireland-Japan Association.

SUMMARY:Between The Stones: Performance Demonstration Lecture | Phase 2
DESCRIPTION:We are delighted to invite you to attend Performance Demonstration Lecture (Phase 2) of the new noh drama ‘Between The Stones’ on 8th February 2019. \n \nThis performance demonstration talk is designed to introduce audiences to the key elements of noh and to have a close up and interactive experience of how a new noh is developed from ‘page to stage’. \nDate: Friday\, 8th February 2019\nTime: 7.30 p.m.\nVenue: The Mill Theatre\, Dundrum Town Centre\, Dundrum\, Dublin 16 \nTickets: €14/€12\nTickets can be booked online HERE! \n‘Noh’ is classical Japanese theatre which combines dance\, drama\, music\, poetic text\, exquisite costumes and masks into a highly aesthetic form of art that has been performed continuously for 650 years. \nThe focus of the new noh\, Between the Stones\, is ‘from tragic loss to peace’. It explores how the burden of grief turns into an understanding and celebration of life\, death\, beauty and love; and the transformative power of gardens to nurture and heal the soul… It also uniquely brings together three Japanese cultural forms – noh\, karesansui gardens and furin (wind chimes). \nThe professional noh actor\, Kinue Oshima\, the composer\, Richard Emmert\, and the author of this new two-act English language noh drama\, Jannette Cheong\, will share key aspects of how this new noh will be transformed from the poetic text to the stage production using traditional noh techniques. \nThis is the third noh performing arts collaboration between Richard Emmert and Jannette Cheong and the second with the Oshima family following the acclaimed success of Pagoda (2009 European Tour\, 2011 Asia Tour). \nCome and join this unique team to have a deeper understanding of the 650 year-old theatre of noh\, and learn about the second\nimportant phase of this rare\, new collaborative noh project. \nMore information (brochure) can be found HERE. \nThe event is supported by Ireland Japan Association and The Mill Theatre\, Dundrum \n \n
