“An Evening of Kyogen” will be presented Sunday, May 7, at 5 p.m. at the Aratani Theatre, 244 S. San Pedro St. in Little Tokyo.
Thirty-five years after he first shared the joy of kyogen with Los Angeles theatergoers, Living National Treasure Nomura returns with the Mansaku-no-Kai Company for an evening of warm, life-affirming comedy.
Also starring Mansai Nomura and Yukio Ishida, this program of three short masterpieces (“The Owl,” “The Kawakami Headwaters,” and “Tied to a Stick”) displays the full range of a theatrical form that has kept audiences laughing since the 14th century.
With its pared-down staging and stylized acting, kyogen offers an absolutely unique theatrical experience. Performed in Japanese with English subtitles, this program is the result of a special collaboration between the Aratani World Series and the Yanai Initiative at UCLA and Waseda University in Tokyo.
Additional support for this program is provided by UCLA Division of Humanities; Haruhisa Handa Professorship of Shinto Studies, UCLA; Department of Asian Languages and Cultures, UCLA; Terasaki Center for Japanese Studies; Cultural Affairs Division, Waseda University; Ryusaku Tsunoda Center of Japanese Culture, Waseda University; TGU Project “Global Japanese Studies” and Waseda University (MEXT Grant); WASEDA USA; All Nippon Airways.

County Arts Commission, the Folick family, Kawaguchi-Kihara Memorial Foundation, and George, Ruri, Lisa, and Nathan Sugimoto. Significant in-kind support is provided by American Airlines, American Honda Motor Co. Inc., and Bose.
