Национальный театр но

Noh is a form of Japanese theatre — older and more classical, characterized by seriousness and austerity. Noh actors are traditionally male. The main character wears special masks instead of expressive facial acting, and performances are long and may require some preparation from the audience. To balance Noh’s drama, it is often combined with comic scenes (kyōgen); that mix is called nōgaku. The main Noh stage in Tokyo is the National Noh Theatre. Seats are equipped with screens showing English subtitles, but even so the performance can be hard to follow.
