It was originally developed to provide comic relief between heavier, more serious Noh acts. Kyogen represents a wellspring for traditional Japanese performing arts and, as such, has had tremendous influence on Kabuki and other arts that developed later. Kyogen plays are almost all comedic spoken dramas, and are easy to understand. Performers wear traditional Japanese costumes without any make-up, using very unique vocalizations and particular methods of stepping around and across the stage.<\/p>\n<p>Free admission!
