Kabuki Talk III
Monday, February 23, 6:30 pm
Lion Dance by Male Characters

A number of Kabuki pieces called Shishi-mono form one of the major parts of the dance repertoire. A woman, such as a princess or courtesan, is transformed by the sacred animal, and becomes a heroic, ferocious figure. But sometimes male figures dominate the pieces, focusing attention on father-son relationships. The two talks are about the excitement and diversity of Lion Dances.
