Business Overview
Kyogen is often performed by each family, but once a year, young Kyogen performers across schools and families come together for a performance called "Tachiai Kyogen-kai," and this is the eighth performance. This year, as last year, the festival was held with three kyogen performances and five komai (small dance) performances to prevent the spread of COVID-19. By continuing the Tachiai Kyogenkai, not only the interaction among Kyogen performers is deepened, which leads to the revitalization of the whole organization, but also the feeling that the next generation of audiences can be developed and nurtured is obtained, and the ripple effect of increasing the number of Kyogen audiences is expected. I believe it will be an unprecedented and epoch-making performance that will contribute to the spread and development of Japanese culture.
