The Math of Noh
Noh Theatre represents a 7-century continuous performance history in Japan. Current performance practices have master performers rehearsing by themselves and coming together as a group for a one time only performance experience for any specific play. Based on the combinations of styles of performers, from musicians to actors to chorus members, a noh performance today represents a one in 3,600 possible mix of styles for every play. This film clarifies the scope and the magic of The Math of Noh.
In short, the mathematics of the combination of performers who each perform a particular noh in their own style and are brought together and have to listen and work with all of the other performers on stage who trained for the play in slightly different ways for only one unique performance are insane.
