Spring 1997
Theater Mitu presents a production of The Noh Cycle. Written and Directed by Rubén Polendo. An adaptation of Zeami’s Noh plays The Damask Drum and Lady Han, the piece deconstructs an extraordinarily controlled form using West African drums, medieval pageantry, butoh and Balinese masks in an attempt to experience the two pieces as a cycle.
