The highly anticipated 111th Nomura Kyogenza will take place from August 28 to August 29, 2025, at the Kanze Noh Theatre located in Tokyo's bustling Ginza district. This special event, organized by the Mansaku-kai, promises to be an extraordinary display of traditional Japanese arts, showcasing the vocals and movements that have captivated audiences for generations.

The Nomura Kyogenza series is an essential event for the training and performance of the Nomura family, with each show bringing a fresh perspective to traditional pieces. This time, the audience will be treated to four Kyogen performances: Iroha, Dobukachiri, Urusashii, and Mushrooms. Notably, two young performers who made their debuts last summer will take on Iroha once more, illustrating their growth and dedication.

A significant highlight of this performance will be the rare piece Urusashii, which Mansaku himself meticulously reviewed to ensure an authentic representation on stage. To make this event more accessible to newcomers, renowned actor Mansai Nomura will provide thorough commentary at the beginning of the performances.
