kyōgen
Sign in to saveAlso known as kyogen
is a form of traditional Japanese comic theater. It developed alongside Noh, was performed along with Noh as an intermission of sorts between Noh acts on the same stage, and retains close links to Noh in the modern day; therefore, it is sometimes designated Noh-kyōgen. Its contents are nevertheless not at all similar to the formal, symbolic, and solemn Noh theater; kyōgen is a comic form, and its primary goal is to make its audience laugh.

Il kyōgen (狂言, lett. "parole della follia") è un tipo di teatro giapponese risalente al XIV secolo. Essendosi sviluppato assieme al nō ( 能 ) ed essendo rappresentato sullo stesso palcoscenico, come pausa tra un nō e l'altro, viene anche chiamato nō-kyōgen. I suoi contenuti sono tuttavia diversi rispetto a quelli del teatro nō: il kyōgen è una forma comica, il cui scopo è produrre nel pubblico il warai (笑い lett. "riso, risata"). Scena tratta dal kyōgen in una rappresentazione del XIX secolo di Yokoyama Kazan
