Mibu Kyogen Traditional Theater, at Mibudera Temple (Kyoto) Oct 12, 2019 - Oct 14, 2019

This ancient form of theater is put on every year at Mibudera Temple, when performers don special masks and move to a musical accompaniment of drums, bells, and flute melodies. Six shorter stories each day for 3 days (18 sections in total) come together to weave one larger traditional tale. It's silent theater, so there's no language barrier - just let the dancing whisk you away!

 

Their official English page could use an update, but it's an interesting read that might better prepare you for the performances before viewing.

Address 31 Mibunaginomiyacho, Nakagyo-ku, Kyoto
Access 5 min. from Omiya Station, Shijo-Omiya Station, 3 min. from Mibuderamichi bus stop
