Noh Reimagined

Noh Reimagined Festivals at Kings Place, London

Noh Reimagined 2022 “Hengenka”  25 June 2022

“I cannot praise this two-day festival enough.” ★★★★★ – Planet Huggill

“Noh Reimagined showed that inspiration or collaboration can mean something other than wholesale adoption of sounds or ideas.” – The Journal of Music

Since 2016, Noh Reimagined, in partnership with Kings Place, a renowned London arts venue, has captivated audiences with the profound art of Noh. This consistently sold-out two-day festival, featuring masterful classical Noh performances, offers a unique and authentic cultural experience unlike any other… but, Noh Reimagined is more than just tradition; it’s a dynamic platform for bold, interdisciplinary collaborations that push the boundaries of artistic expression.
