The evolution of traditional Japanese theater in the 21st century
Abstract
The article deals with the principles according to which traditional forms of the Japanese theater (Noh,) are currently developing and changing. The author comes to the conclusion that a synthesis of genres within the types of theater and a development of interspecific relations can be observed. The influence of European forms of theater gives rise to independent theater groups in Japan. Several performances of the modern repertoire are described: “The Haunted House” (Kabuki), Journey to the West (Bunraku), and also the activities of a modern stage director Miura Motoi and his theater company Chiten.
