    Star Wars by Kabuki

    • Description

      it is excellent performance - Star Wars Kabuki version. As everyone noticed, Star Wars has been influenced by Japanese culture, you should definitely have a look at new kabuki Star Wars performance.

      Show is around 40 min in legth. Below you will find full length show link on youtube. 

      The show is in Japanese, but all characters and movie stories ar well known so you will be able to follow the line. There is a crawl in English about 17:25 with reworked kabuki stule characters to fit Japanese language and culture. You will see "Lukuu", "Leian", "Judai" all of them well recognized, right? As an example "Luuku" which is Luke was given Kanji name instead of katakana characters, compare here (ルーク - Ruuku VS 琉空 - Rukuu ) and his name is translated as jeweled sky.

      In Kabuki theatre there is no female actors and all roles played by males. For example Karien in the show is played by Ichikawa Ebizo and his son is playing Leian (princess Leia).
