SUMMARY:Cinema Kabuki 2019 TORONTO
DESCRIPTION:Cinema Kabuki 2019 Toronto\nNovember 9 & 10\nAt TIFF Bell Lightbox \nin High Definition on the Big Screen \nDirect from Japan \nSubtitled in English \nincluding Canadian premiere of Akoya \n  \n  \nKabuki Theatre\, with origins dating back to the 1600s\, has remained steeped in tradition while constantly innovating itself. Live productions\, featuring some of today’s greatest Kabuki stars\, are now being filmed with high resolution cameras for screening in cinemas on state-of-the-art digital projection systems and six-channel sound. \n________________________________________ \nCinema Kabuki\nTIFF Bell Lightbox \n350 King Street West\, Toronto \n  \nSaturday\, November 9\, 2019 \n11:30 am Kumagai’s Camp \n2:00 pm Dōjōji – A Lover’s Duet  \n  \nSunday\, November 10\, 2019 \n11:00 am Akoya NEW \n1:30 pm Three Thieves Named Kichisa \n  \nAdvanced tickets on sale on October 9\, 2019 \nOnline at https://am.ticketmaster.com/tiff3/#/ \nand in person at the Lightbox box office \nPer screening\, each program $24.80\, including tax and handling charge \n  \nFor more information: www.jftor.org \n416.966.1600 ex.229 \n\nKumagai’s Camp \n(a samurai tragedy) \nKumagai Jin’ya \n  \nPremiered in 1751 as a puppet theatre play \nWritten by Namika Sōsuke \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 \n  \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 Gidayū music. Three Living National Treasures—Kichiemon\, Tomijuro\, and Tojuro—create a splendid tableau of historical grandeur. \n\nDōjōji – A Lover’s Duet \n(a dance performance) \nKyokanoko Musume Ninin Dōjōji \n二人道成寺　京鹿子娘二人道成寺　きょうかのこ むすめににん どうじょうじ \n \nPremiered in 1753 \nDirected for Cinema Kabuki by Naoya Hasumi \nRecorded live at Kabuki-za Theatre\, Tokyo\, 2006 \n71 minutes \nSubtitled in English \nTrailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=1&v=GPDeY3nNmSM \nSynopsis and background: http://www.kabuki21.com/ninin_dojoji.php \n  \nTamasaburo\, one of Japan’s most renowned dancers\, and rising star Kikunosuke create elegant mirror images to underscore the beauty and eroticism of one soul divided by the sacred and the profane in Dōjōji – A Lover’s Duet.  Abandoning the sacred path has transformed a beautiful young woman into a serpent. Dancing at a dedication ceremony for a temple bell\, the woman/serpent rediscovers her higher self. \n\nAkoya \n(a historical epic with Gidayū music accompaniment) \nDannoura Kabuto Gunki \n壇浦兜軍記 だんのうら かぶと ぐんき \n \nPremiered in 1732 as a puppet theatre play \nWritten by Bunkōdō and Hasegawa Senshi \nRecorded live at Kabuki-za Theatre\, Tokyo\, 2015 \n93 minutes \nSubtitled in English \nTrailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=1&v=GPDeY3nNmSM \nSynopsis and background: http://www.kabuki21.com/akoya.php \n  \nDefeated Samurai commander Kagekiyo vanishes and is searched for by the victorious Genji clan. Courtesan Akoya\, Kagekiyo’s lover\, is arrested and interrogated to learn the hideout of Kagekiyo. The interrogator confronts Akoya with an emotionally\, sophisticatedly elevated way of torture to pull out the truth from this dedicated lover; instead of violence or pain\, three music instruments are used to hear the clarity in tones as a reflection of the honesty of her mind. Actually playing three instruments onstage\, plus singing\, Tamasaburo realizes magnificently one of the most challenging Kabuki female roles. \n\nThree Thieves Named Kichisa \n(an urban outlaw story) \nSan’nin Kichisa \n三人吉三 \n \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: \nhttp://www.kabuki21.com/sannin_kichisa.php \n  \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. \n  \nIn association with Consulate General of Japan in Toronto \nPresented by The Japan Foundation \nFor more information: 416.966.1600 ext.229 \nwww.jftor.org \n\nシネマ歌舞伎2019トロント \n2019年11月9日・10日 \nトロント上映十周年、3年ぶり8回目となるシネマ歌舞伎上映 \nHDハイ・デフィニションの大画面で観る歌舞伎 \n全作品英語字幕付 \n  \nTIFF Bellライトボックス \nTIFF Bell Lightbox \n350 King Street West\, Toronto \n日加修好90周年記念 \n入場料: 各上映$20＋税・手数料 \n前売り:　オンラインで販売中　tiff.net/specialevents \n当日売り:　上映館にて \n在トロント日本国総領事館、国際交流基金共催 \n問い合わせ: 416.966.1600 x.229 \n  \n【上映日程・上映作品】\n11月9日（土曜）午前11時30分　『熊谷陣屋』 \n『一谷嫩軍記』【いちのたに、ふたば、 ぐんき】時代物義太夫狂言（武家の戦の悲劇） \n英題Kumagai’s Camp \n2010年東京歌舞伎座でライヴ収録　104分　英語字幕 \n武将の戦いは心身の奥深くにまで及ぶ。勝利の日にも、主君義経への忠義と献身を全うするため、熊谷直実は苦衷の底にある。もともと人形浄瑠璃のために書かれた本作では、その様式的な構造が、古典的なドラマの格式を高めている。無双の武人が、彫刻的に佇立するような存在から、無情な戦争の哀れな犠牲者へと急転落する。こうした人物像の変化は、義太夫節の声と三味線によって骨太に描かれ、舞台上には、吉衛門・富十郎・藤十郎の三人の人間国宝が、華麗な歴史絵巻を繰り広げる。 \n  \n予告編: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cLsXQXWbDjU \n英語あらすじ: http://www.kabuki21.com/kumagai.php \n  \n11月9日（土曜）午後2時　『二人道成寺』 \n  \n『京鹿子娘二人道成寺』【きょうかのこ、むすめ、 ににん 、どうじょうじ】所作事（舞踊作品） \n英題Dojoji – A Lover’s Duet \n71分　2006年東京歌舞伎座でライヴ収録　英語字幕 \n長唄舞踊の最高峰であり、女形芸の究極とも言われるのが『京鹿子娘道成寺』。その二人版改作である『二人娘道成寺』を、玉三郎が一人の女性の執念が二人の肉体で表現される作品として新解釈、歌舞伎界の若きホープ菊之助を得て、めくるめく美の世界が花開く。二人は時に寸分違わぬ密度で息を合わせ、時には鏡に映る姿のように対称を守り、またある時は身振りと目線で対話し心を通わせ合う。江戸の女性美は、華やかに、悩ましく官能的に、そしてあどけなく、観る者の心を掴んで離さない。桜花爛漫の舞台に、春を迎える色鮮やかな演目。 \n  \n  \n  \n11月10日（日曜）午前11時　『阿古屋琴責め』　 \n『壇浦兜軍記』【だんのうら、かぶと、ぐんき】時代物義太夫狂言 \n英題 Akoya \n人形浄瑠璃として初演1732年　文耕堂・長谷川千四作 \n歌舞伎初演1738年 \n93分　2015年10月東京歌舞伎座でライヴ収録 \n       英語字幕 \n戦い敗れた平家の将景清は、源氏に追われる身。その景清の愛人、京都五条坂の遊女阿古屋が詮議の場へ引き出され、恋人の行方を尋問される。詮議に当たる重忠は、肉体の苦痛に訴える拷問を敢えて避け、三種類の楽器を阿古屋に奏でさせる。奏者に心やましきものがあれば、おのずと楽の音が濁り乱れるはず。舞台上で琴・三味線・胡弓を実際に演奏し、歌い、かつ恋人への情熱と身の潔白を吐露する難役中の難役に、現代歌舞伎女形の最高峰玉三郎が挑む。 \n  \n  \n三種の楽器の音色に現れるか、恋の真と敗軍の将の行方 \n予告編: https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=1&v=LjSwZYxL2bU \n日本語あらすじ: http://enmokudb.kabuki.ne.jp/repertoire/2134 \n英語あらすじ: http://www.kabuki21.com/akoya.php \n  \n11月10日（日曜）午後1時30分　『三人吉三』 \n『三人吉三廓初買』【さんにん きちさ くるわの はつかい】世話物（裏街の無法者達の物語） \n　　　英題 Three Thieves Named Kichisa \n1860年初演　河竹黙阿弥作 \n舞台演出・シネマ歌舞伎監督　串田和美 \n136分　2014年東京渋谷シアター・コクーンでライヴ収録 \n英語字幕 \n  \n  \n19世紀初めの江戸、大都市の爛熟した文化の最下部には、不良や無法者が蠢いていた。三人の盗人が新年の夜の闇の中で出会い、不思議な共感に導かれて義兄弟の契りを結ぶ。その時三人の誰もが、この出会いは、連綿と続く彼らの運命の糸の皮肉なもつれの、ほんの一部でしかなかった事に気づく術もなかった。三人が顔を合わせるはるか以前に、彼らの人生はもつれ合っていた。運命の網は三人をからめ捕り、ついには死に至らしめる。三人の頼もしい若手歌舞伎俳優、勘九郎・七之助・松也が大暴れ、串田和美の革新的な演出で、古典作品に新たな息吹が与えられる。若者の街、東京渋谷のシアター・コクーンでの実況録画。 \n  \n予告編: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FikN3jxiLxU \n英語あらすじ: http://www.kabuki21.com/sannin_kichisa.php \n \n[END]

SUMMARY:SPIRIT OF JAPAN: SHINTO & GAGAKU
DESCRIPTION:SPIRIT OF JAPAN: SHINTO & GAGAKU\nJapanese Traditional Religion and Music\n(Introduction of Shinto and Gagaku performance) \nYou may think Japan is the country of Buddhism. In fact\, there are various Buddhist temples in Kyoto\, Nara and everywhere in Japan\, and the concept of “Zen” is also familiar. On the other hand\, quite many Japanese enjoy Christmas and Halloween\, and visit Shinto shrines from time to time. \nShinto is Japanese indigenous religion\, which does not have a founder\, dogmas and a holy scripture. However\, it has been kept as a part of Japanese life (custom) for more than a few thousand years\, and for example\, millions of people visit Meiji Jingu Shinto shrine in Tokyo for the New Year’s first shrine visit to make prayers. \n \nShinto priests of this Meiji Jingu will come to The Japan Foundation\, Toronto this September\, and have an introductory talk about Shinto\, the concept of the relation with nature as you can see the forest (picture) surrounding Meiji Jingu\, and the connection with the life of Japanese people. \nGagaku –traditional music- has an important role at Shinto ritual ceremonies. Slow and mellow music will lead you to feel Japanese culture rooted into the ancient times of the country. In this event\, some music will be performed by three musical instruments (Sho\, Hichiriki\, Ryuteki). Furthermore\, performers (Shinto priests) will give you instructions if you want to challenge/try to play it! \n  \n【日本語】 \n日本は仏教の国というイメージをお持ちの方も多いのではないかと思います。京都や奈良、日本全国には様々な寺院があり、禅という概念にも親しみがあります。一方で、クリスマスやハロウィンを楽しみ、正月には神社に参拝をします。 \n神道は日本古来の信仰で、創始者や教義・経典を持っていません。しかし、今日もなお日本人の生活の一部として残っており、例えば、東京にある明治神宮は正月の一週間で数百万人の参拝者で賑わいます。この明治神宮からやってきた神職が、神道について、そして広大な森に象徴される神道と自然との関わり、生活との関わりについて解説します。 \n  \n神道のお祭りには雅楽が欠かせません。ゆったりとした曲調は、遥か遠い昔に根付いている日本の文化を感じさせてくれます。このイベントの中では、三管（笙・篳篥・笛）という小編成で、数曲演奏される予定です。また、参加者の中から希望者には、この雅楽器に挑戦してもらう時間も設けられます。 \n  \nBio: \nMember: Moriyasu Ito\, Atsuki Katayama\, Takanaga Tsutsumi \nMoriyasu Ito graduated from Kyoto University and earned Bachelor of Law. He entered in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in 1993 and studied at Trent University in Canada as a trainee\, and was posted to Karachi in Pakistan as a cultural attache and vice consul for three years. Back to Tokyo in 1999\, he left the ministry in 2003 and entered Meiji Jingu and became a Shinto priest after studying at Kokugakuin University. He is a Chief of the International relation division at Meiji Jingu Intercultural Research Institute. He plays the Sho (Japanese wind instrument assembling panpipes). \nAtsuki Katayama graduated from Kokugakuin University in 2003\, and entered Meiji Jingu in the same year. His father is serving at Hitomaro Jinja (Shinto shrine)\, dedicated to the spirit of a poetry Kakinomoto-no Hitomaro (A.D. 660-724)\, in Yamaguchi prefecture.  He became a Shinto priest in 2008 after serving as a trainee for 5 years at Meiji Jingu. Currently he belongs to the Ritual division. He plays Ryuteki (dragon flute). \nTakanaga Tsutsumi lives in the life close to Shinto\, since his mother was born in the family serving at Kumano-hongu Taisha (Shinto shrine) in Wakayama prefecture. After he studied low at Tokai University\, he decided to be a Shinto priest\, and entered Kokugakuin University to take one year intensive course for the qualification to be a priest. He has been serving at Meiji Jingu for three years as a trainee\, now. He plays the Hichiriki (small double-reed instrument).

SUMMARY:Rakugo—Japanese Traditional Storytelling Performance
DESCRIPTION:co-presented by the Japanese Canadian Cultural Centre and the Japan Foundation\, Toronto\nsubtitled in English\nGet ready to laugh this February! The Japanese Canadian Cultural Centre will host a “Rakugo-kai” with veteran Rakugo star Yanagiya Sankyo. \nHe became an apprentice to Yanagiya Kosan V and received the high shin’uchi rank in 1981. A gifted performer\, he is famous for his ability to portray the subtlest emotions of a character during a performance. \nIn rakugo\, a lone storyteller in traditional garb sits on stage. Using only a paper fan (sensu) and a small cloth (tenugui) as props\, and without standing up from the seiza sitting position\, the rakugo artist depicts a long and complicated comical story. The story always involves the dialogue of two or more characters\, the difference between the characters depicted only through change in pitch\, tone\, and a slight turn of the head.  Absolutely fascinating and guaranteed to leave you laughing. \n江戸時代から続く日本の伝統芸能の一つである落語。来年2017年 2月12日（日）に柳家さん喬師匠とお弟子さんの柳家喬之助さんを お招きして落語会が開催されます。さん喬師匠は近年より落語を通 して外国人に日本語と日本文化を紹介する活動を続けられていま す。まだまだ、寒さが続く2月、その寒さを笑いで吹き飛ばしましょう。 \nTickets: (416) 441-2345
