予告篇／シネマ歌舞伎「坂東玉三郎-鷺娘」 Trailer: Cinema Kabuki "Sagi Musume"

All actors in the play are men, and there is a global history of men also playing female actors.
It allows them to take a step into a woman's shoes, and take the experience. And it is possible on stage. It allows them to act out the elegance of the feminine side from their perspective.

The earliest groups were made up mainly of women performers or adolescent boys but the boundaries between prostitution and theatre became too cloudy and they were outlawed, so only adult males could perform Kabuki theatre

Yes I believe Shakespeare also followed this too. (I think)

oh I wish to see Kabuki performance ?!? on my own eyes... maybe someday ?

Sorry I think I've misunderstood your question. This version was filmed in the mid 90s.

lol the ppl in kabuki are all men, no offence, tho it's history it's kinda...

One of these dances like a dance in MOAG (Sayuri's dance under the snow).

I love the dancing, the music, everything looks so beautiful! makes me wish I could go back in time and see how they done it in the past

i've been to kabuki performances in the US before.

Kuniko Yamamoto goes across the country doing these things. She's amazing! you could see if she's performing locally anytime soon.

I agree. It was to americanized.
