[A Special Kabuki Performance by Bandō Tamasaburō] This month a special program featuring the legendary ‘onnagata’ (female role specialist) Bandō Tamasaburō is performed to commemorate the reopening of the Minamiza Theatre. In the first play he reprises one of his most successful roles. The next work is a dance play adapted from a kyogen comedy depicting the scramble for a sword between a thief and a country yokel played by Bandō Hikosaburō and Bandō Kamezō. The performance ends with a kabuki dance first performed in December 2018 at the Kabukiza. Enjoy the beautiful world created by Tamasaburō. You can see the stage pictures of the program from the news below! The March program at the Minamiza Theatre (Kyoto) has begun!

STORY :
The courtesan Akoya is the lover of the fugitive general Kagekiyo. She has been captured and is tortured by the wise Shigetada and the humorous villain Iwanaga in order to find out Kagekiyo's whereabouts, which she claims not to know. Shigetada forces Akoya to play three instruments since the slightest disturbance in the sound would indicate that she is lying. This is a showpiece for an 'onnagata' who must actually play the koto, the bowed kokyū, and the shamisen flawlessly as part of the drama.

KEISEI YUKI NO YOSHIWARA
['A Courtesan of the Yoshiwara Pleasure Quarters in the Snow' ]
CAST :
- Courtesan
