 I've been involved with ANUza Kabuki since last year, mid-year last year and the reason why I got involved was because coming from a Japanese background as well, I've always had an exposure to traditional Japanese art and culture and history and things like that and I've been watching Kabuki for a few years now and I've been quite interested in it. Every time I go back to Japan I always go watch a Kabuki show as well. So this is his story. In Japanese it's called Skeroku Yukari no Edo Sakura. In English the translation would be Skeroku and the Cherry Blossoms of Edo. It's about a man, Skeroku, who's looking to revenge his father's death and he doesn't know who his father's killer is and the only way he can find out is by finding the sword that was stolen from his father when he was killed. So he tries to seek his father's killer by provoking fights with other men or other samurai and try to get them to draw their swords so he can find his father's sword when that was stolen when he was killed. Kabuki traditionally it's an old male cast so it's just male actors and they play children or men or women in the play but for Anizawa Kabuki in the interests of gender equality we have the female students they will play male cast and the men they will play women. A lot of our audience are they're not Japanese speakers so just to get them to enjoy the play as well not only we have Japanese like the play is not only in Japanese but it's also in English and there's a lot of jokes as well we try to incorporate a lot of Australian jokes just so the audience can understand it a bit more and enjoy it a bit more as well. We've got quite a big cast we have about 30 people in that of actual actors which is quite big and then on top of that we've got producers we've got the treasurer we've got backstage crew as well and marketing people and all together it makes up about 50 people this year yeah it's quite big it's quite a big club. It's a great way to get exposed to Japanese traditional culture and art as well it's really funny it's a very dramatic form of theatre and I think people of all ages will enjoy it. For anyone who's interested in Japan or Japanese language or theatre or art or culture I think this is a great way to join it's a great way to meet new people as well who have the same interests.
