Shochiku Co.'s bcゲーム リチャージuot;Cinema Kabukibcゲーム リチャージuot; series presents its latest addition -- bcゲーム リチャージuot;Sannin Kichisabcゲーム リチャージuot; (Three Thieves Named Kichisa) -- for screening with English subtitles at five theaters nationwide on July 5-6. The work is the 22nd in the series, which features filmed live kabuki performances to be enjoyed by audiences at movie theaters.
The play bcゲーム リチャージuot;Sannin Kichisabcゲーム リチャージuot; was performed to a full house in June 2014 as one of the bcゲーム リチャージuot;Cocoon Kabukibcゲーム リチャージuot; programs at Theater Cocoon in Tokyo's Shibuya district by rising kabuki stars Nakamura Kankuro, Nakamura Shichinosuke and Onoe Matsuya, along with virtuoso actors from across different genres such as veteran screen actor Takashi Sasano.
*Kabuki actors' names come in a family name, given name format.
Serving as the film's director himself, the play's stage and artistic director Kazuyoshi Kushida presents the bcゲーム リチャージuot;Sannin Kichisabcゲーム リチャージuot; drama not simply as a movie edition but a brand-new cinema production by including footage of the live stage performance taken from camera angles not normally visible from kabuki audience seating.
The premier of the English-subtitled version of this work was presented at this year's Sibiu International Theatre Festival, one of Europe's three major theater festivals, where Kushida was awarded the Sibiu Walk of Fame for his long years of contribution to performing arts.
At the festival, an enthusiastic local audience watched their first bcゲーム リチャージuot;kabuki on filmbcゲーム リチャージuot; intently, with many also contributing various questions at a teach-in event prior to the screening. To commemorate this success, Shochiku has decided for this subtitled work to be screened at five locations in Japan as well. It will be the first time for a first-run bcゲーム リチャージuot;Cinema Kabukibcゲーム リチャージuot; production to be released with English subtitles on such a scale.
With this, even audiences who do not understand Japanese can fully enjoy kabuki at movie theaters in their neighborhoods for a reasonable price. We look forward to your introduction of this event.
