Revolutions Start Small
Born into a life of acting and dance with a traveling theater troupe in 14th-century Japan, 12-year-old Oniyasha has one problem--he doesn't know what the point of any of it is. Why must I step with the left foot here instead of the right? Why is one performance good and another bad? Why do people dance at all? It all seems perfectly arbitrary until a chance encounter in a run-down shack sets him on a path to revolutionizing the art form and influencing much of Japanese culture to come. A coming-of-age artist's journey about the founder of Noh theater.
