🎸 Divadlo Kjógen

About

Divadlo Kjógen is a Czech professional ensemble founded in 2001, dedicated to performing Japanese kyōgen comedies in the Czech language. It is the only European ensemble to consistently stage this genre in its own native tongue. The group was initiated by playwright and mime Hubert Krejčí, Japanologist Ondřej Hýbl, and a Japanese master of the Ōkura school. Kyōgen is a traditional comic theatre form listed as UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage.
