Traditional puppetry Ningyo Johruri Bunraku, will be presented in Ha Noi, August 30, 2014 |
The artists will perform an extract of Date Musume Koi No Higanoko (The Furious Love of a Greengrocer's Daughter), based on affairs from the Edo period about 300 years ago.
About 160 works out of the 700 plays written during the Edo period remain in today's repertory.
Nowadays, the aesthetic qualities and dramatic content of the plays continue to appeal to modern audiences.
On the occasion off the 40th anniversary of ASEAN Japan Friendship and Cooperation, Bunraku Puppet Theater, the traditional puppet theater of Japan, was staged for the first time in South East Asia in Kuala Lumpur.
It not only marked a historical first appearance in the region, but also paved the way to a new collaboration between Japan and ASEAN countries through traditional puppets.
Free tickets can be collected at the Japan Foundation No. 27 Quang Trung Street, Ha Noi.
