“Shikkoku-Noh” was held at The National Art Center, Tokyo.
About
( Excerpted from the original )
“Shikkoku-Noh” (English title: Phantosia) is a theatrical installation in which “Noh performance is held in a pitch-darkness.” The noh performance played in pitch-darkness and complete silence will elicit the possibility of infinite imagery because of it’s invisibility.
*English title, “Phantosia” is a coined term of PHANTOM(from Latin ‘imaginary space’) and PHANTOM( ‘ghost’ ).
For this exhibition, either “Izutsu” or “Nue,” a category of which is classified into Mugen Noh (supernatural Noh) that Zeami established will be played in half-noh style(later half of the play set after the sunset). For first few minutes, waki (the counterpart of the protagonist, Shite) who is an inhabitant of real world appears just before the sunset, and when shite (main protagonist) appears as a supernatural being or inhabitant of a dream, true darkness comes.
