- Summary:
- What does freedom sound like in the context of traditional Japanese theatre? Where is the space for innovation and where can this kind of innovation be located in the rigid instrumentation of the Noh drama? In 'Piercing the Structure of Tradition', Mariko Anno investigates flute performance as a space to explore the relationship between tradition and innovation.
