Derived from Kabuki, Japanese dance has three elements: rhythmical dance, soft dance, and gesture, with the addition of dance by women.
In the modern era, it became independent from Kabuki, and many professional Nihon buyo dancers were born and became active. This refined art form, in which one can enjoy not only the beauty of the dance and music but also the narrative, has attracted many people and created a major trend in the traditional performing arts.
This year, the "Nippon Buyo Caravan," which brings this rich world of Japanese dance to the whole country, will conclude its tour with a performance in Fukuoka.
A total of about 80 people, including living national treasure Yachiyo Inoue (Iemoto of the Inoue school of Kyomai), leading Japanese dancers such as Maricho Hanayagi, a former member of the Takarazuka Revue, first-rate Japanese music performers, and staff members such as costumes and props to enhance the stage, have gathered for this performance. The stage will be presented with live music for a one-day-only special performance.
No prior knowledge is necessary. Rakugo storyteller KATSURA Yoshibo, who has a deep knowledge of traditional performing arts, will explain the highlights of the show in an entertaining manner.
The gorgeous costumes and sets, beautiful dances, and emotional and comical stories will draw you in just by watching. Please come and experience the fun and glittering world of Japanese dance!
Program
Kimigayo Matsutake Ume" Nagauta
This piece describes the joy of pine trees, bamboo, and plum blossoms. From the solemnity of the setting, the piece depicts events associated with the pine tree and the swinging of the kakko (Japanese hourglass drum), which is associated with the legend of the plum blossoms, followed by the depiction of a woman's love for a bamboo tree that resists snow, which is later compared to the plum blossoms.
Nagauta "Nijin Urakyu
Bowl Hisa is the common name of the wealthy Osaka merchant Bowl-ya Kyubei. Because of his deep friendship with Matsuyama, a prostitute in Shinmachi, and his lavish spending, he was locked up in a prison cell and went insane from missing Matsuyama so much. In this piece, as he wanders around after escaping from the prison, he dreams of Matsuyama, whom he misses, and dances with her. And then...
Nagauta "Renjishi
This is one of the most famous Kabuki dance pieces depicting the affection and bravery of a lion father and son. In the first half, the kyogen actor describes the legend of the lion cubs falling to the bottom of the valley, only to have the strong cubs crawl up and be raised there. There is also a lovely dance of the butterfly spirit between the first and second stages.
