Experience traditional Noh theater in a performance at the Seattle Japanese Garden (1075 Lake Washington Blvd. E.) on Thursday, Sept. 25, beginning at 6:30 p.m. The garden will open for twilight viewing at 5:30 p.m.
Munenori Takeda and the Takeda Noh Troupe will present three Noh vignettes that will give the audience a glimpse of their upcoming performance at Seattle’s ACT Theatre. The performance, “The Universality of Noh: Crossing Borders on Stage,” will be on the Moon Viewing Stage in the garden, with seating in the orchard. Bring a blanket or tatami mat to sit on.
Takeda was born into a family of preeminent Noh actors belonging to the Kanze School, which traces its roots to the 1300s in Japan. He is widely recognized as one of the most talented young Noh performers in Japan today.
