Yeats

Yeats was an Irish poet and playwright who incorporated some elements of asian theater in his plays. Yeats never saw a Noh performance and therefore, he couldn't create a visually authentic recreation of the style. He did however, incorporate the symbolism of Noh performances. Yeats also used extensive use of masks. His interest in Noh was inspired by his realization that written and spoken languages were limited and could not achieve a somatic expression. Instead, Yeats attempted to use body and movement, much like is done in Noh.
