Kani Yamabushi (The Crab) - A Traditional Kyogen Comedy in English
In a Memory Palace (work-in-progress excerpts) - Contemporary Noh x Opera Production
Theatre of Yugen and Theatre Nohgaku are joining forces for the upcoming performances of a traditional Kyogen comedy in English and excerpts from an original production of contemporary Noh x Opera!

Featuring a Yamabushi mountain priest, his porter, and the spirit of crab (Kani), Kani Yamabushi (The Crab) is a traditional 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, In a Memory Palace is directed by Theatre Nohgaku’s founding member and Yugen’s former artistic director Jubilith Moore.
