Dont miss the rare chance to experience the authentic and unique beauty of these contemporary kabuki performances by Japans greatest kabuki actor, Nakamura Kanzaburo!

RENJISHI (The Father and Son Shishi Lions)
The Kabuki Lion Dance usually features a father/son duo as two powerful lions that explore the challenging father/son relationship. The Triple Lion Dance is extraordinary not only because it stars the legendary actor Kanzaburo, but also his sons Kankuro and Shichinosuke who shine as the younger lions, showcasing three of Japans most revered mythical beasts. The father lion is one of the most sought-after roles for Kabuki actors.

RAKUDA (The Camel)
When unpopular tenant Uma dies, his only friend Hanji schemes to make some money. He sends Kyuroku, the junk collector, to demand support for the funeral ceremony from Umas miserly landlord or the dead Uma will come to his house and dance. Kabukis most powerful acting duo lights a fire under this black comedy, which turns to hilarious farce with the aid of copious amounts of sake.
