    Nakamura Hashinosuke, Nakamura Senjaku

    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 on stage of Kabuki or some aspects of the art like music, stage tricks or fighting scenes, followed by the bombastic play "Narukami", which stars Nakamura Hashinosuke and Nakamura Senjaku in the roles of the wicked priest Narukami and Princess Taema.

    Comments
