sorry to burst your bubble, but usually, men are the only actors of noh. they usually wear masks to make themselves look like women. but i like this, they managed to make the actor look convincingly like a woman. and all the emotion is felt!

when you perform noh theatre, its everything but effortless, trust me XD they make it seem effortless and simple, but its not

I'd rather watch Noh Theater than Kabuki Theater!

@SRbluecollarman thats not noh the acting type that uses only men to act in japan is called Kabuki and to tell you a fact i am taking drama class and we are currently studying about the history of drama

This type of theater seems to go awefully slow (although I'm sure it's on purpose), and I was wondering how long a show typically lasts as long as that is the case.

i'm not exactly sure what they are trying to portray here. i'm doing a project on major Asian forms of drama, the Noh thater being one of them, and i have to do a comprehensive review of a video. but that's the thing- i'm not comprehending! >.< can someone help me??

@Lenangreal I'm sorry this comment got downvoted. It's your right to not understand or appreciate it, but you still acknowledge it as a form of art and it seems like you're upset that you can't appreciate it. It's alright, it's an acquired taste. I can't say Noh is for me either. I thought I would like it more since I like Kabuki, but no dice. <3
