"Zeami" is a play by Masakazu Yamazaki that uses the life of Zeami to explore performance, political power, and the inner life of the acting self. Set against the age of Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, it turns the tension of living as one who is seen into historical drama.

The play layers the light and shadow of art and power onto the life of Zeami, who brought Noh to maturity.
