Japan founded in 1861 with the then Prussia a peace and trade agreements. This German-Japanese friendship is now so for 150 years and is celebrated in both countries throughout the year.
made in Germany last night a guest of the no-Komparu ensembles.am By chance, I start the year in the biographer came across an article on just this guest appearance. Just in time for when I next day arrived at the theater, the tickets were sold out almost all of them. Funa Benkei was shown.
With an expert guide so yesterday we went to the theater Central, next to the main station. Instead of comfortable seats, they were presented here only folding chairs. The audience was very mixed, German, Japanese, old and young. Even the WDR was before with a camera team place. After we got through a few introductory words of the Japanese Consul General, the education minister of NRW and the mayor, two actors came on stage. One eagerly explained the piece in simple Japanese sentences, which were then translated by a Japanese woman consecutively and the other showed us what one person said.
The story is quite simple in itself. The brothers Yoshitsune and Yorimoto are rivals and so Yorimoto banished his brother from the noble family. Yoshitsune then flees with his follower Benkei and his lover Shizuka towards the port. At the hotel was ordered Benkei, Yoshitsune even then, Shizuka returns to the capital to go. Deeply sorry for the last time she danced for him and then disappears in tears. The men set sail, the weather is good, the water is calm. Suddenly, the spirits of those killed on that Yoshitsune in the fight against the Taira family. The sea is always restless. One of the spirits, Taira no Tomomori, attacks Yoshitsune, who tries to defend himself with his sword, which does not work. Benkei tells him that he can do against a ghost with a sword and nothing starts the rosary over and over again to pray and begs the gods to call back the spirits. This is achieved and the men sailing on calmly. End story.
Here we see the first part of the farewell dance Shizuka (notice the slow speed). In the second part of the upcoming storm is represented by the change in the voice of the steersman.
The third section sees a part of the fight.
Here again the fight. Taira no Tomomori wears a much nicer costume:) has
After Benkei Tomomori with the (rustling) rosary on the run, he starts to prance sideways and turn around, as would carry him the waves (not video)
Conclusion: In contrast ... completely different!! I have always loved theater, but something I have not seen yet ^ ^ Well, I do not have to have every day, but it was something completely different and unusual. According to my company, despite the school in Japan, No has so far only seen on television, cost-open the theater tickets in Japan for at least three times to end. However, I would have been really in a fix without the prior statements and the subtitles!
