Modern Adaptations

 Modern Adaptations of Noh Drama  

- Modern productions of Noh Theatre in Japan are usually done in the traditional style. Although Zeami fell out of public favor during his time, noh drama came back as a prominent art form in Japan during the Tokugawa Period (1603-1867).

- Atsumori, 2019: This production of Atsumori was done at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver traditionally, with exception of requiring male actors and the traditional noh stage.

- Curlew River, 1997: Based on Sumidagawa, a Japanese noh play, this performance from the Spoleto Festival in Charleston combines elements from Eastern and Western dramas (Noh and Christian storytelling).
