Nakamura Senjaku, Kataoka Ainosuke

Educational program at the National Theatre called Kabuki Kanshô Kyôshitu ("Kabuki appreciation class"). This is a very interesting formula for the beginners because there is lively presentation of Kabuki (or some aspects of the art like music, stage tricks or fighting scenes) on stage, followed by the "Fûin Giri" scene of Chikamatsu Monzaemon's play "Koi Bikyaku Yamato Ôrai", starring Nakamura Senjaku and Kataoka Ainosuke in the roles of Kameya Chûbê and the courtesan Umegawa.

Kataoka Gatô, Kamimura Kichiya, Kataoka Shinnosuke, Ichimura Kakitsu

25th edition of a yearly educational Kabuki tour in the Kansai provinces. This is a very interesting formula for the beginners because there is lively presentation of Kabuki followed by 2 great dances.

Ichikawa Ennosuke, Ichikawa Emiya, Ichikawa Danshirô, Ichikawa Monnosuke, Ichikawa Emisaburô, Nakamura Karoku, Ichikawa Danjirô, Ichikawa Kamejirô, Ichikawa Ukon

Ichikawa Ennosuke and his troupe of young and talented actors perform a modern style of theater, which they created a few years ago and called "Super Kabuki" (Sûpâ Kabuki in Chikamatsu Monzaemon's lingo): it's spectacular (lots of chûnori), the costums are gorgeous and ultra-sophisticated, the music is modern, the texts are easy to understand and the plots are as twisted as a good Kabuki classic. Usually a big commercial success!
