Enjoy a kyōgen (a traditional Japanese comic form) performance!

“Two Great Lords” (Futari Daimyō), performed by the University of Hawaii at Manoa’s Asian Theatre Program, is a play from the traditional repertory, brings the spirit of kyōgen to life as a passerby is commandeered by great lords out traveling, to carry their sword. In this delightful “weak overcoming the strong” parable, the passerby turns the tables on them, relieving them of their belongings, and yet somehow leaves them, and the audience, in laughter. Program is suitable for ages 8 and older.

This is a production of the University of Hawaii at Manoa Outreach College’s Statewide Cultural Extension Program with additional funding provided by the National Endowment for the Arts, Hawaii State Foundation on Culture and the Arts, and the University of Hawaii at Manoa.
