With a history of more than 650 years, Noh is the world’s oldest performing art.
Wearing masks (Noh mask) and costumes, performers portray universal stories of love, parting, prayer and ghosts through movement pared back to the barest essentials and Noh chanting.
Japanese cuisine, meanwhile, honors nature by allowing none of the life in each season’s bounty to go to waste.
Both are inscribed on UNESCO’s Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. They are time-honored traditions through which Japan proudly shares its aesthetic sensibility and spirituality with the world.
At SUIGIAN, these two aesthetics resonate and converge in a special evening.
The piece “Utou” portrays a spirit of prayer for all living things and the poignant love found in the bond between parent and child.
Savor this sublime feast with all five senses, and take to heart both the preciousness of the life we receive as nourishment and gratitude for all that has been passed down to us.
