Japan style comedy show in Vietnam
|
|
(CPV) – A sit-down comedy program titled “Rakuro” by Japanese artist Katsura Utazo will take place on October 24 and 27 in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City.
Rakuko, literally “fallen words”, is a traditional Japanese form of verbal entertainment. A solo storyteller, sitting on the stage, equipped only with a paper fan sensu and small cloth tenugui as props, depicts long and complicated comical stories without standing up from the sitting position. As the stories are all spoken in Japanese, there have always been language barriers for foreigners to fully enjoy Rakugo performance.
The Rakugo master Katsura Utazo, kindly agreed to convey the funny Japanese stories with Vietnamese subtitles. Such masterpieces of Rakugo stories as “Kinmeichiku” (Yotaro the Idiot), “Chotan” and “Shinigami” (the Devil of Death) will be performed on stage.
The highlight is the story of “Shinigami” which is believed to be an adaptation of the “Godfather Death” in Grimms’ Fairy Tales. The audience will witness how the well-known story in Europe is cleverly and funnily adapted in a unique Rakugo style.
The program organised by the Japan Foundation Center for Cultural Exchange in Vietnam./.
