Noh drama is a form of Japanese drama for 700 years ago.
Noh—its name derived from nō, meaning “talent” or “skill”—is unlike Western narrative drama. Rather than being actors or “presenters” in the Western sense, Noh performers are simply storytellers who use their visual appearances and their movements to suggest the essence of their tale rather than to enact it. Little “happens” in a Noh drama, and the total effect is less that of a present action than of a simile or metaphor made visual.
This time, I can play on my own for My final exam presentation for Afro-Asian Literature class.
