Blue Man x Ichikawa Kamegoro BLUMAN MEETS Kabuki

[Machine Translation] Blue Man Theatre has been packed every day. The show will finally end its run on March 31, 2012. For the first time in Japan! Two DVDs containing the Japanese performances will be released simultaneously! The titles of the DVDs are written by Koji Kakinuma, a contemporary Japanese calligrapher who wrote the title of the NHK historical drama "Fu-Rin-Kazan" starring Kamejiro Ichikawa and performed calligraphy at Kodo's international art festival "Earth Celebration" on Sado Island in Niigata Prefecture. Blue Man and Ichikawa Kamejiro, a kabuki actor well-known for his roles in films and TV dramas, will collaborate in this unique collaboration. The exciting and wonderful fusion of Kabuki, a traditional Japanese art form with a rugged spirit and a wabi-sabi worldview, and rock entertainment is a masterpiece! The first half of the film introduces their first encounter and the process of stage making. Recorded on March 1, 2011 at the Blue Man Theater in Roppongi, Tokyo.
