psycho drama
All Noh plots are transcendental, and many are complicated, but this one is just surreally great:
Saigyo Zakura
"It is spring. A group of people come to enjoy the blossoms of a cherry tree near the priest-poet Saigyo's hermitage. He writes a poem in which he blames the cherry tree for the intrusion. That night, the spirit of the cherry tree appears to Saigyo, denies that it was at fault, and dances in celebration of spring, till the morning sun begins to tint the horizon."
--Noh, by Daiji Maruoka & Tatsuo Yoshikoshi
Now, if only those idiots in the big building next door who set off their car alarms at quaint hours would come over and dance in celebration of Ludwig van Beethoven, the Deaf Musician...
