But (Noh) and Kyogen (Kyogen) are two forms of traditional Japanese theater that are usually performed together in a full cycle of performances.
What is Noh?
Noh is a dramatic form of performative art that was developed in the 14th century. It is a highly stylized form of theatre in which actors often wear masks and use ritualistic movements. Noh plays often have mythical or supernatural themes, with characters such as spirits or gods, and usually have a serious or melancholic tone.
What is Kyogen?
Kyogen, on the other hand, is a comedic form of theatre dating back as far as the 14th century. Kyogen plays are usually performed in between Noh plays, and they use humor and satire to depict the daily lives of ordinary people.
Both forms include music and dance. Although Noh and Kyogen have different characters and styles, both of them are important for understanding Japanese culture and the history of performative art.
