Chimori, the first generation of the first generation and the first "rat kid" in 29 years-February Daikabuki

The topic of the February Kabukiza Theater is Chimori of "Tokaiya" and "Omonoura" from "Yoshitsune Senbonzakura" played by Nizaemon in "Ichisei Ichidai". Chimori, a historical fact, enters the water in the battle of Dan-no-ura and leaves the world, but in fact, Chimori survives and intends to revenge on Yoshitsune, but cannot achieve a fierce end.

Nizaemon has played this major role several times since his premiere at the Kabukiza Theater in 2004. According to an interview article that I decided to perform in "Ichisei Ichidai" this time, "If you don't do it this time, it may be obscure even if you can do it next time." So I decided to put an end on my own."

The seats are full. A great applause from the place that appeared on the flower path in the form of Ginpei Watakaiya. It turned into a ghost of Tomomori Tairano in white clothing, and reappeared from the flower path with the appearance of an arrow dyed in blood. There is no time to breathe until the end of carrying an anchor and throwing himself into the sea. The applause doesn't stop. I feel the happiness of being able to attend the performance.

Another topic is "Rat Kozo Jirokichi", which will be performed for the first time in 29 years. It is one of the kyogen's "Shiranamimono" of Miku Ami, with a good faith as a "pirate." Performed for the first time in 29 years since the National Theater in 1993. According to the announcement, Kikunosuke, who plays the Rat Kozo, and his son Ushinosuke, play Miyoshi, and play with parents and children for the first time in 97 years since 1925. At that time, they were the sixth generation Kikugoro and the seventh generation Umeyuki. This is a performance related to Otowa-ya for generations. Ushinosuke, who turned 8, did not read a long line and performed well. It's impressive to remember that I was hated by two living national treasures, my grandfather, who were first seen and hated. It's strangely interesting why the performance had been cut off for 29 years.

Mr. Shiban, who has been a substitute since the first day due to the COVID-19 pandemic, has returned.

February Kabukiza Theater will be held on the 25th.
