On October 18th, the special premiere of "Kyolu Ziniang 2 Rencheng Temple" held at the Capital Theater kicked off the prelude to the landing of Shochiku Kabuki HD video series in China. After that, Beijing Tianqiao Art Center and Beijing Intermediate Theater will also screen a number of Shochiku Kabuki HD video series.
Kabuki originated in the early Edo period in the 17th century and gradually developed into a mature drama genre, with actors who are all male, with gorgeous makeup and costumes, exquisite sets, complex stage organs, and strong ornamentation. Founded in 1895, Shochiku Co., Ltd. is the world's only Kabuki performance production company, which has long been committed to the inheritance, development and overseas dissemination of traditional Japanese arts such as Kabuki, and has held five public performances in China since 1955, contributing to Sino-Japanese cultural exchanges.
The introduction of Shochiku Kabuki video screening is intended to bring this classic Japanese traditional performing art to more Chinese audiences. This is also another new art form brought by Ojevi Culture to screen audiences after the introduction of many high-level live videos from around the world, such as live images of the British National Theatre, images of the Royal Opera House, ballet images of the Bolshoi Theatre, etc.
The first round of screenings featured four Shochiku Kabuki works, including "Kyo-Roko-nihon-nihon-do-ji Temple" directed by Japanese national treasure Kabuki master Yuzaburo Sakato and co-starring with kikunosuke Ogami, a new generation leader of contemporary Kabuki, Koshiro Matsumoto, Sarnosuke Ichikawa, and Nakagawa Nakasen, and "The Lion Of The Lion", a father-son story directed by yoji Yamada and performed by two generations of famous actors from Nakamuraya. and "Kabuki NEXT Asahi Ryuji", which is born out of the tragic heroic story of Japanese history.
