Chopin w teatrze nō
Chopin in the Nō Theater

Summary/Abstract: A review of the play The Piano Tuner by Tessenkai Theater (Tokyo), directed by Kasai Kenichi and based on a text by Jadwiga M. Rodowicz-Czechowska (Polish premiere: 17, 18, 19 February at Studio Theater in Warsaw). Kornaś outlines the basic information about Japanese N? theater and drama, and presents Rodowicz’s concept – to inscribe a European context, conceived around the figure and music of Chopin, around this conventionalized structure. He then describes the staging, indicating moments in which the two entirely disparate aesthetics combine or clash.
