kabuki is back onstage at Sadler’s Wells for a brief season, headlined by Ebizo Ichikawa XI.
I visited the theatre on the 7th of June. It was amazing night.
Dating from the early 17th century, Kabuki is one of Japan's oldest and most magnificent art forms. This is a rare opportunity to see authentic Kabuki performed by Japan's most iconic performers.
The programme features two classic Kabuki works: the visually stunning Fuji Musume, in which The Wisteria Maiden dances against a gorgeous backdrop of wisteria flowers; and Kasane, a dramatic tale of love, murder and revenge, famous for its beautiful musical accompaniment.
