Noh Theater. Tale of Genji Excerpts
Description
This program presents excerpts from the Japanese dance-drama Noh play Tale of Genji, from the 14th century, performed by Tatsuo Minagawa, Tei Ko, Shizu Nakamura, and Yuki Shimoda, with commentary by the leading Japanese scholar Donald Keene. The performance is in Japanese, with English explanation. As seen by Keene, Noh plays had a status, not unlike classic Greek drama. The Tale of Genji - in form, a long novel - has been compared to The Decameron, Tom Jones, or the work of Proust in its sweep of action and multiple characters.
