六百年の「今」を舞う～狂言師・野村萬斎(2013)

Kyogen performer Mansai Nomura carries forward a 600-year-old tradition while pushing it into the modern world. Son of Mansaku Nomura, a living national treasure, Mansai has expanded beyond the classical stage into film, drama, and contemporary productions. His work balances the weight of family legacy with a restless creative drive to make kyogen's profound expressive power relevant today. Through his varied projects—each a deliberate challenge to convention—Mansai demonstrates how traditional Japanese performing arts can thrive in the present, blending reverence for the past with innovation for new audiences.
