SUMMARY:TIFF presents Cinema Kabuki: Lion Dance
DESCRIPTION:Premiered in 1893\nWritten by Ochi Fukuchi\nComposed by Shojiro Kineya III\nRecorded live at Kabuki-za Theatre\, Tokyo\, 2009\n70 min. (Introduction 10 min. + dance 60 min. )\nSubtitled in English\nTrailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UdPjLAYMbzI \nFor the late Kanzaburo XVIII “Lion Dance” was the most precious gem of his family tradition. Danjuro XI\, who created the piece\, was the mentor of Kanzaburo’s grandfather\, Kikugoro XI. Four generations of the best Kabuki actors of their eras nurtured “Kagami Jishi” and developed it into one of the best examples of the dance repertoire in Kabuki theatre. A single dancer conjures up a stunning contrast of two images: A young maiden in the Shogun’s castle is transformed by the spirit of the majestic Shishi\, a mythical animal. The healthy\, sophisticated eroticism of a young woman is conveyed by the dancer in the first part. She is noble\, sensitive\, yet coquettish at times. But\, when the spirit of the ferocious Shishi takes over her body\, the animal stamps the earth\, and swings his mane in the air\, celebrating the prosperity and glory of life. \nTickets: $22 link\nOn sale: TIFF Members January 13; General public January 20 \nCinema Kabuki is presented by TIFF in partnership with The Japan Foundation\, Toronto.

SUMMARY:TIFF presents Cinema Kabuki: 3 Thieves Named Kichisa
DESCRIPTION:Three Thieves Named Kichisa/San’nin Kichisa\n(an urban outlaw story) \nPremiered in 1860\nWritten by Kawatake Mokuami\nDirected for the stage and Cinema Kabuki by Kushida Kazuyoshi\nRecorded live at Theater Cocoon\, Shibuya\, Tokyo\, 2014\n136 min.\nSubtitled in English\nTrailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=2&v=oBtmU5KSkmQ\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GRmoN1_bGsg\nSynopsis and background: http://www.kabuki21.com/sannin_kichisa.php \nEarly 19th-century Edo (the former name of Tokyo) had juvenile delinquents and outlaws everywhere. Urban culture was overripe. Three thieves happen to meet on a dark New Year’s night. They feel compassion for each other instantly and vow brotherhood. But they do not know that this encounter is only one milestone of their fate. Long before the three meet\, their lives have already been entangled. An intricate web of destiny eventually drives them to their deaths. Kankuro\, Shichinosuke\, and Matsuya are three of the most promising young Kabuki actors. This classic play is given new life by these young talents in an unconventional production by Kushida at a contemporary venue\, Theater Cocoon\, located in the Shibuya district of Tokyo\, known as the Street of Youth. \nTickets: $22 link\nOn sale: TIFF Members January 13; General public January 20 \nCinema Kabuki is presented by TIFF in partnership with The Japan Foundation\, Toronto.

SUMMARY:TIFF presents Cinema Kabuki: Kumagai's Camp
DESCRIPTION:Kumagai’s Camp/Kumagai Jin’ya\n(a samurai tragedy) \nPremiered in 1751 as a puppet theatre play\nWritten by Namiki Sosuke\nRecorded live at Kabuki-za Theatre\, Tokyo\, 2010\n104 min.\nSubtitled in English\nTrailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cLsXQXWbDjU\nSynopsis and background: http://www.kabuki21.com/kumagai.php \nA samurai hero struggles on the battlefield. But on his day of triumph\, Kumagai\, one of the commanding officers\, suffers in agony trying to fulfill his duty and devotion to his Lord Yoshitsune. This play was originally written for the puppet theatre and through its formal structure achieves the passion and solemnity of classic drama. A powerful warrior is transformed from a statuesque figure to a pure victim of the inhumanity of war. This character development is depicted stylistically through the sung narration of Gidayu music. Three Living National Treasures—Kichiemon\, Tomijuro\, and Tojuro—create a splendid tableau of historical grandeur. \nTickets: $22 link\nOn sale: TIFF Members January 13; General public January 20 \nCinema Kabuki is presented by TIFF in partnership with The Japan Foundation\, Toronto.

SUMMARY:TIFF presents Cinema Kabuki: Kagotsurube\, the Haunted Sword
DESCRIPTION:Kagotsurube\, The Haunted Sword/Kagotsurube Sato no Eizame\n(a story of the pleasure quarter) \nWritten by Shinshichi Kawatake\nPremiered in 1888\nDirected for Cinema Kabuki by Hiroyuki Nakatani\nRecorded live at Kabuki-za Theatre\, Tokyo\, 2010\n113 minutes\nSubtitled in English\nTrailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oScGR-qCAyU \nOn the main street of the Yoshiwara pleasure district the top courtesan Yatsuhashi makes a luxurious procession through the fully blooming cherry trees. Miraculously\, she happens to smile at Jirozaemon\, a country merchant in the crowd. Who would have ever imagined that this momentary encounter could be the cause of mass murder? A love triangle forces the courtesan to reject her best customer in the middle of a banquet — the most dishonourable humiliation of all. Jirozaemon seizes the haunted sword Kagotsurube\, which inevitably invites bloodshed once it is drawn. Kanzaburo and Tamasaburo are joined by Nizaemon to form a dream cast for this Kabuki classic. \nTickets: $22 link\nOn sale: TIFF Members January 13; General public January 20 \nCinema Kabuki is presented by TIFF in partnership with The Japan Foundation\, Toronto.
