We will hold event of Rakugo in English, coming April.
We will have rakugo performer Sayohime, she will demonstrate what is Rakugo and have workshop after her performance.
Rakugo is a 400 year-old form of comedic Japanese storytelling that is still popular today. The story teller kneels on a Japanese cushion to tell a funny story written in dialogue format and uses two props ; a fan and Japanese cotton towel which can become many things such as wallets, or chopsticks. It had become the custom to include a “punch line” at the end of the story for added effect.
Sayohime profile:
When I was student. I devoted myself to performing musicals. I have performed Rakugo in English not only in Japanese but also in forein countries.(NY in 200t NZ in 2006 SF in 2007)since 2002. I want to perform in smaller spaces where I can have a closer connection with my audience. I look forward to sharing the joy of Rakugo with you!
