    Comments

    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 "Domo Mata" act of Chikamatsu Monzaemon's play "Keisei Hangonkô", which stars Nakamura Kashô and Kataoka Takatarô in the roles of Matahei and Otoku.
