As part of Scotland to the World, we bring you a unique fusion of Japanese and Scottish culture. Rarely experienced outside its home country, Noh is a 600-year-old form of classical Japanese musical drama, into which the experimental Noh Reimagined theatre company is breathing new life. They bring us today’s two-part performance, introducing Noh Theatre in Part One with Nonomiya - a piece based on the oldest novel of all time, followed by Song of Rona Island - a new and contemporary collaboration, based on Kathleen Jamie's essay 'On Rona', which blends Scottish and Japanese folklore, myth and music, in Part Two.
Note: This is a repeat of the performance on Mon 24 Aug at 19:00.
