We are pleased to announce a special 90-minute interactive seminar featuring a professional Kabuki actor. This exclusive program offers a comprehensive journey through the world of Kabuki, from an insightful lecture on its history to live demonstrations and hands-on workshops.
Participants will not only deepen their knowledge of this traditional art form but also receive direct guidance from a professional actor. We invite you to join this unique experience to complement your Kabuki performance at the Kabukiza Theatre.
