“SHOKI-Zhong Kui-“
Yoshihiro Fujita x Masuda City Iwami Kagura Kagura Kagura Kai
ABOUT
This is a creative performance of Iwami Kagura, a traditional performing art in western Shimane Prefecture, and contemporary dance. The play "Shoki" refers to a deity who appeared in the dreams of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty, and is said to have exorcised evil spirits and healed diseases. In this production, dancer/choreographer Yoshihiro Fujita directs "Shoki", one of the most popular performances of Iwami Kagura. With modern motifs sprinkled throughout, the stage will be even more festive now that the Corona disaster is upon us, with the dance featuring many highlights, from solo to group dances, and the powerful dances and music of the Iwami Kagura Shinwa-kai of Masuda City.

Message from artist / creator
The theater is located in western Shimane Prefecture, where the birthrate is dwindling and the population is aging and declining. There are also many guests who have difficulty visiting the theater and watching shows in the theater. Based on the regional circumstances, we hope to deliver arts and culture in a more equitable manner by making subtitles for the production video. Furthermore, we aim for a barrier-free facility complete with video production to enable the audience to experience and enjoy the charm of the traditional performing arts preserved in the region as well as the theater’s original productions be it abroad or in urban areas.
