This is the second special performance to be held in a 5-part series before closing at the Yokohama Noh Theater, which will be closed for a long time at the end of December this year due to large-scale renovation work.
Starting with the festival song “Omoro,” which is equivalent to the “sacred song” of “Okura” in Noh, classical dance (“youth dance,” “second year dance,” and “female dance”) and “group dance” created during the Ryukyu Kingdom period, “miscellaneous dance” and “Okinawan play,” which were born from playhouses after the collapse of the kingdom, and “creative dance,” where female dancers took center stage and refined their artistry after the war, will be performed in order, and the history of “Ryukyu performing arts” spanning about 600 years will be viewed.

In Okinawa, a variety of performing arts have been created as the times have changed since the Ryukyu Kingdom period. These have now been handed down as “Ryukyu performing arts.” In this performance, starting with the festival song “Omoro,” which is equivalent to the “sacred song” of “Okura” of “Okura” in Nohgaku, classical dance (“youth dance,” “nisai dance,” and “female dance”) and “group dance,” “group dance,” “miscellaneous dance” and “Okinawan play,” which were born from playhouses after the collapse of the Ryukyu Kingdom, and “creative dance,” where female dancers took center stage after the war and refined their artistry, will be performed sequentially, and the history of “Ryukyu performing arts” spanning approximately 600 years will be performed. They will also perform the dance group “Hurray Hosshou,” which was created based on the Noh “Abandoned Monk,” etc., and the Okinawan play “Bo-Shibari,” which is based on the kyogen “Hobonobashi.” From Miyagi Noho, Shida Fusako, Nishie Yoshiharu, and Higa Akira from “Living National Treasures,” to mid-level and young people who will lead Ryukyu performing arts in the future, will perform.
