Our classical programme includes highlights from Noh playwright Zeami’s masterpiece Saigyo-Zakura (Saigyo’s Cherry Tree) as performed by Minoru IV Gensho Umewaka.
In the story, we overhear a conversation between Saigyo, a famed poet-monk, and the spirit of an old cherry tree in a midnight spring garden. Selections of dance and music from the popular Noh repertoire will also be performed as part of the programme.
