Nezumi, The Japanese Robin Hood (a satirical comedy)
Written and directed for the stage by Hideki Noda
Recorded live at Kabuki-za Theatre, Tokyo, 2003
110 minutes
Subtitled in English

Nezumi, a sort of 18th-century Robin Hood, is a Japanese urban legend. His passion for money drives a cynical, duplicitous coffin maker to take on Nezumis mantle. In this kaleidoscope of disguise and deception, societys pretenses are destroyed in a melting pot of farce, social satire and courtroom drama. The mighty are brought low to everyones delight. Contemporary theatre genius Hideki Noda collaborates with Kabuki theatre at the invitation of celebrated actor Kanzaburo.

Avant-garde in the 1600s, Kabuki Theatre remains at the cutting edge with live productions featuring some of the best Kabuki actors recorded by multiple HD cameras for screening in movie theatres by high-quality digital projectors with 6-channel sound.
