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. \n  \nKAGOTSURUBE\, THE HAUNTED SWORD (a story of the pleasure quarter) \nKagotsurube Sato no Eizame『籠釣瓶花街酔醒』  \n\nPremiered in 1888\nWritten by Shinshichi Kawatake\nDirected for Cinema Kabuki by Hiroyuki Nakatani\nRecorded live at Kabuki-za Theater\, Tokyo\, 2010 \n136 min.\nSubtitled in English \nFor trailer please click here: \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.
