Nou/Noh/能

With 2 friends of mine (mic and Céline) we have been to the Nou (noh) theater.
This is a japanese traditional theater.

Inside it always looks like that, this is the main part

and the side from where the actors are coming.
I was thinking there are only men, but there there was women too, so I don't know...

Jacques Chirac was in one of the play :-), this is not Noh because it was a funny one, this is called kyogen. This is a different style.
This was a story of a guy wanted to drink for free and act like a god (with the mask) to get it!

The actual Noh was this play, story of a priest (the guy) saving a girl sold by mean people.
Between the main play, there was some singing, traditional music and dancing.
That was really nice, but 3.5 hours and I had to say, because they were speaking a lot, I fall asleep, but I tried not to snore, so I think this was ok :-)
This is really worth to see it once!!!
