Japanese artists will use the program to introduce Vietnamese audiences to performances of Kyōgen comedy, the oldest form of comedic art in Japan with a storied history spanning 650 years. This traditional art form remains popular, even in the modern era, and provides a valuable insight into the culture of Japan. Through their performances, Japanese artists will give Vietnamese audiences an opportunity to experience Kyōgen comedy firsthand and gain a deeper appreciation for the culture of the country.
Kyogen is a form of comedy that is distinct from the more serious Noh theatre. It mainly focuses on the daily lives of ordinary people during the middle ages. Unlike Noh, which often requires performers to wear masks, Kyogen plays are usually performed without masks. This allows for the audience to gain a better understanding of characters’ universal humanity through their laughter.
The traditional Japanese art form has already been recognized by UNESCO as part of the World Cultural Heritage. It is a testament to the unique cultural expressions that have been passed down through generations and stands as a reminder of the influence Japan has had on the world.
On this special occasion, the province of Ha Nam will be hosting a conference to promote investments and the development of tourism, a photo exhibition that exhibits the beauty of both Vietnam and Japan, and a farmtrip that will provide visitors a glimpse of the wonderful tourist attractions in the region.
