Ever-lasting art of Japanese theatre | SLICE | FULL DOCUMENTARY

[@johnnie543]

A great documentary but it must be noted that it's a few years old, as Sakata Tōjūrō IV actually passed away back in 2020 at the age of 88. Rest in peace, Sakata-sensei!!

I’ve been to a Kabuki event in this theater . To attend is an event onto itself. People bring food and drinks,the show itself is like 2-3 hours long. People shout out sayings(l wish l understood!) some elders even fall asleep lol. I thoroughly enjoyed it. ❤❤❤

[@comradeleppi2000]

Wow. I bet it's a good experience

[@kitcatwafers]

the shouting is called "kakegoe"! the audience usually shouts the guild/family names of the actors who appear onstage to encourage them or traditional sayings that go with the atmosphere (usually the former though!)

It's so cool to see some behind-the-scenes footage of Nakamura Kazutaro. I recently saw him in New York, so it's great to get a glimpse into his life.

This was a beautiful documentary. Very well presented. Thanks for helping share their amazing arts and culture with a wider audience. ❤

Subarashi!!!sugui desu ne❤❤❤#japàn🎉🎉🎉

[@IngridSaybe]

The word Kabuki is related to sing, music, skill. Cultural heritage from ancient times. Patrimony intangible by Unesco. since 2005. Very popular among Japanese people, interpreted exclusively by men.

[@lianefehrle9921]

I wish I could see one. I would not understand the language. By how the actors move their body and eyes would tell the story

We can be friends I'm a movie director

Môn nghệ thuật này tương tự nhự nghệ thuật sân khấu cải lương ở Việt Nam tôi rất thích và hy vọng nó sẽ được bảo tồn.

Hi

[@Azlite74]

I hope they are able to hold on to this wonderful art for more generations to come. However, are they ever going to remove the ban on women?

[@theotherohlourdespadua1131]

Most likely never. It's tradition at this point. Your first statement already came into conflict with the second statement...

[@freedomfreedom6544]

Maybe they want to protect their institutions from the Satanic cult that is destroying the west with feminism and gender blurring

[@edienandy]

@@theotherohlourdespadua1131they might remove the ban. Noh has had their ban on women performing removed for decades now.

[@stanleygagner]

In amateur troops, it is pretty common for women to perform. It is the large professional theatres that are most staunchly against it, and even there, there has been a little bit of progress in recent years. I do hope that more women can take the stage, but I also hope that the tradition of Onnagata doesn't dwindle because of it.

[@JokerMxyzptlk]

Women could always create their own plays and theater and perform however they like. I don't see much point changing the system of kabuki as it has been perfected up to now.

[@juanquizeppelin]

i see why kabuki is in crisis

[@budgie463]

Why?
