Abstract
By bringing Schechner’s analytical concepts of ‘script’, ‘theater’ and ‘performance’ (2003) to bear on the analysis of a contemporary performance of Kyōgen, a form of traditional Japanese theatre, and by examining the play and interplay of these three dimensions through Turner’s theory of ritual (2005), I will discuss how performances of Kyōgen present notions and topoi of individual and collective well-being and may actually contribute to a state thereof. In doing so, I aim to arrive at a better understanding of what the notion of well-being may mean for Japanese people.
