The thread of inspiration extending from ancient to contemporary times
Noh Reimagined is a series of projects and festivals exploring the 650-year-old Noh theatre tradition. Noh Reimagined presents classical masterpieces by top Noh performers, together with premieres of ambitious commissioned works, inspired by Noh, which have been created by contemporary artists from diverse disciplines.
In the past three editions of Noh Reimagined festivals (2016, 2018 and 2022) which took place in partnership with Kings Place, we presented the best of the classical Noh performances embodying Noh’s aesthetic, philosophy, unique musical strategies, movement, and dramaturgy – which were reinterpreted and reimagined by inspirational British artists and shared with diverse audiences.
