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. ❤❤❤
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!)
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.
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.
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.

Wow. I bet it's a good experience

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. ❤
Years ago I learned my martial arts skills thanks to these movement
Un país que protege, conserva, cultiva sus tradiciones, muy bonito documental!

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
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?
Most likely never. It's tradition at this point. Your first statement already came into conflict with the second statement...
Maybe they want to protect their institutions from the Satanic cult that is destroying the west with feminism and gender blurring
@@theotherohlourdespadua1131they might remove the ban. Noh has had their ban on women performing removed for decades now.
