ANU Za Kabuki is holding our 47th annual production presenting “Shibaraku: Wait a Moment!” Famous for being one of the “famous Juuhachi-ban: the 18 Kabuki plays performed by the members of the Ichikawa family” this is your chance to see it in Canberra!
The story of Shibaraku is set in front of the Tsuruoka Hachimangu shrine where an evil aristocrat Kiyohara no Takehira has usurped power and taken as prisoners several imperial royals including the prince Yoshitsuna and the princess Katsura no Mae. When it seems the bad guys have won and all hope is lost a tremendous shout “Shibaraku! (Wait a moment!)” can be heard loudly from behind the agemaku curtain.
Our opening night features an exclusive photo booth for audience members run by the Japanese embassy.
