Noh
Noh is a traditional form of Japanese theater. It should not be confused with Kabuki that is similar but not the same. In the piece I viewed two characters appeared to be in some form of conflict. One appeared to be the spirit of island fire while the other appeared to be the spirit of Mountain snow. I'm guessing they are brothers or something because they look very much alike other than their hair which appears to be a different color for each of them. The music was not very melodic. It seemed to me to be mostly drums, the taiko if I am correct, with some instrument I am unfamiliar with being used for the drone. It seemed fairly interesting and I look forward to viewing some in the class and posjavascript:void(0)sibly knowing what is going on plotwise.
