Al Bustan Festival 2016
A master of Japanese medieval Noh theatre meets an international concert pianist for an entirely new live-performance.
Hypnotic Noh body language blends with classical and modern piano works. The visions culminate in a deeply original interpretation of Shakespeare’s character King Lear.*
Naohiko Umewaka is world renown as the first great Noh master who opened his immense traditional heritage to an interaction with foreign art forms. His long -time friendship with the accomplished and eclectic French pianist Eric Ferrand-N’Kaoua, equally at ease in classical and jazz-influenced repertoire, now leads them to perform together for the first time.
Piano music by Wagner, Liszt, Debussy, Ravel, Gershwin, Martial Solal….
