Interested in learning more about Japanese Noh theatre? Join us for a free class focusing on a video screening of a classic Noh play, "The Ghost of Atsumori"! This is a rare opportunity to learn more about this mysterious and moving art form. ï¿½

Based on a famous episode from "The Tale of the Heike," the central figure of the play is Atsumori, a beautiful youth who was felled by the enemy warrior Kumagai at the famous battle of Ichi-no-tani. Full of remorse, Kumagai later encounters Atsumori's mournful ghost when he returns to the battlefield to pray for his soul. You will also be introduced to the Noh hayashi orchestra.ï¿½

The class is part of a series presenting four classic Noh plays that inspired "This Lingering Life," a new play by Chiori Miyagawa scheduled to premiere at San Francisco's Z Space in June. For more information about the series, visit:ï¿½http://www.theatreofyugen.org/?spec=137
