Kyogen is Japan’s oldest form of spoken drama. It is closely associated with the Noh theater and was originally performed during the intervals between
the acts of a Noh play. But while Noh themes are mostly solemn, Kyogen presents a comical or satirical view of everyday situations, making them easier to enjoy.
