Noh Reimagined 2025

Noh Reimagined 2025: Bashō, Matsukaze & Song of Rona Island (world premiere) 

Noh Reimagined returns as part of Kings Place’s Earth Unwrapped, celebrating the transcendent artistry of Japanese Noh theatre. This year features two classical masterpieces — Bashō and Matsukaze — alongside the world premiere of Song of Rona Island, a landmark collaboration between Scottish artists and Japanese Noh performers.

Bashō tells of a plant spirit embodying enlightenment, while Matsukaze follows two ghost sisters longing for a lost love. Song of Rona Island unites Scottish musicians and six Noh performers, blending sound and tradition to explore an abandoned island and fragile ecosystems.

Noh Reimagined 2025 is supported by the Agency for Cultural Affairs, with the cooperation of TESSENKAI Public Interest Incorporated Association
