    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 (Kabuki no Mikata) of Kabuki or some aspects of the art like music, stage tricks or fighting scenes.

    Comments

    A special Chôkabuki program for the second time in Kyôto at the Minamiza. The world of Kabuki and the world of otaku collide for the 6th time in Kabuki history (for the second time in a major Kabuki theater)! Resulting from this spectacular collision, a new genre, the Chôkabuki (literally Ultra-Kabuki), which combines Kabuki with advanced ICT technology, was born in 2016 [more details]. Nakamura Shidô shares the stage with the virtual 3D creature Hatsune Miku. The main program will is staged either once or twice. The limited edition is staged the 4th, 7th, 11th, 15th, 19th and 23rd of June in the afternoon at 15:30 (7th, 11th, 15th, 23rd) or in the evening at 17:00 (4th, 19th). The first item is a lively presentation on stage (Chôkabuki no Mikata).
