For the first time in 18 years, Kodama Combi's "Kirire Yozo"-Phoenix Festival April Daikabuki
The 10th anniversary of the Kabukiza Shinkai Hall “Phoenix Festival Daikabuki” has begun. It's a performance after returning to the previous two-part system from this month. The daytime part is "Shin Yin Yangshi", and the night part is "Kirire Yozo" by Nizaemon and Tamasaburo's Takatama combination, so-called "Yozo". The first in this combination was the Kabukiza Theater in March 1982 (1982). After that, it was performed several times in this combination, and since the most recent Kabukiza Theater in April 2005, it is the first time in 18 years and it is a full audience.
Kabuki Kyogen is one of the best known along with "Shiranami Five Men" and "Sukeroku", but the model was based on the story of Izaburo Yoshimura, who lived in late Tokugawa shogunate, andkyogen. This time, "Mizen", "Akama Villa" and "Genji Store Place" will be performed. As you know, the Genji store is derived from the Genji store (Nihonbashi Ningyocho), which is said to have had many concubine homes with the residence of Genya Okamoto, the real lord of the Shogunate.
When I first saw it, I still remember that both of them were "beautiful like a picture" (on the moon) in their early 30s, but it is amazing that the beauty of the two 40 years later almost unchanged! That's right. It is a word of "I'm really happy" that Takatama Combi's "Sakurahime" won a big hit during the COVID-19 pandemic, and as a result, the combination of two people came to be seen many times a year. I'm glad that the production of descending to the audience, assuming the audience as the beach of Kisarazu at the place of "Misen" has been revived. I feel that the COVID-19 pandemic is getting far away.
If you look at the stall in the intermission, you will find "Otomiyo Saburo Naka" of "April Kabuki limited". Of course, it is specially made for a confectionery shop in "Kisarazu", a place for "Mizen". 330 yen per two kinds of black bean and white bean (including)
A new curtain will also be unveiled. This month is Kaii Higashiyama's "Tide of Morning Dawn".
The second act of the night part is the "ren lion" by Matsu Midori and his son "Sakon". The black mask that I got used to from the musicians on the stage disappeared. I get a fresh impression.
I can't wait for the weekend because the "New Yin Yang" is too much.
The Phoenix Festival April Daikabuki is held at Chiakiraku on the 27th.
11:00 noon performance "New Yin Yangshi"
Beginning at 16:00 in the evening, "Yosojo Fukina Yokokushi" and "Renshishi"
