Lesson
Peking Opera
1
Since the Ming era, Beijing has been a splendid center of traditional Chinese
culture and learning. The arts, particularly painting and calligraphy, were patronized
by Emperors and courtiers. After an attempt during the Cultural Revolution to adapt
the genre to current revolutionary themes, traditional jingxi (Peking opera) has been
revived, with its extravagant and stylized costumes and makeup, cacophonous
music, and spectacular dance and acrobatic performances.

In the Peking Opera, both the actors and the makeup artists take their jobs
very seriously. Actors begin preparing for their roles in the opera when they are still
children, and to get the best roles, they must master a sophisticated language of
body motions and gestures. The Peking Opera still exists today, with the best-known
group being the Peking Opera of Beijing, which has toured the world. Makeup artists
are also taught in a school known as "the garden of the endless spring.". The opera
has great appeal for older people but less for the young, who instead
prefer movies, television, and popular music.

Kabuki and Noh Theatres

Kabuki Theatre
Kabuki is a historic Japanese type of theatre that dates back to the Edo period.
Along with Noh and Bunraku, it is considered as one of Japan's three major classical
theatres, It was recognized as a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage in 2005.
Kabuki is a form of traditional Japanese drama with highly stylized song, mime, and
dance, now performed only by male actors. Japanese, originally as a verb meaning
“act dissolutely,’ later interpreted as ka – song, bu – dance, and ki – art/skill.
Kabuki theater is known for the stylization of its drama and the elaborate
make-up worn by some of its performers. Kabuki is therefore sometimes translated
as "the art of singing and dancing". Since the word kabuki is believed to derive from
the verb kabuku, meaning "to lean" or "to be out of the ordinary", kabuki can be
"bizarre" theater. The expression kabukimono referred originally to those who were
bizarrely dressed and paraded on a street.

The Kabuki stage features:
• Hanamichi – a flower path, a walkway that extends into the audience and via
which dramatic entrances and exits are made; Okuni also performs on a
hanamichi stage with her entourage.
• Kogakudo -kabuki theaters that have stages both in front of the audience and
along the sides help create a bond between the actors and viewers.
• Mawaro butal -the interior of the theater contains a revolving stage.
• Suppon -a platform that rises from below the stage.
• Hanamicho – a walkway that cuts through the audience seating area to
connect the stage with the back of the theater.

Elements of kabuki:
• Mie - in which the actor holds a picturesque pose to establish his character
and his house name yagō, is sometimes heard in a loud shout (kakegoe) from
an expert audience member, serving both to express and enhance the
audience's appreciation of the actor's achievement. An even greater
compliment can be paid by shouting the name of the actor's father. Keshō

Just so you know!
Karugo (black guys) are strange-looking beings who are dressed in black and
hooded. They are in charge of stage properties while the curtain is open, as well as
prompters. It is expected that the audience ignores them because they are not
Characters in the play.
The white oshiroi base for kumadori's unique stage make-up is made of rice
powder, with red lines indicating passion, heroism, righteousness, and other positive
attributes, and blue or black lines indicating villainy, jealousy, and other negative
traits. Purple denotes nobility, whereas green denotes supernatural characteristics.
Noh, which dates back to the 14th century, is the oldest known style of theatre
integrating music, dance, and drama. It was created in collaboration with the kyogen,
which are comical pieces played during the main Noh performance's interludes.
UNESCO designated Nogaku as a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage in 2001,
recognizing the combination of Noh and Kyogen art.
Song and dance are the foundations of Noh Theatre. Slow movement, poetic
words, repetitive tone, and rich and heavy clothes are all present. Stories are
frequently based on legend, history, literature, or current events. Dreams, the
supernatural world, ghosts, and spirits are the common themes.

Who are the actors of Noh?
It's fascinating to learn that all the actors in a Noh drama are men.
- Shite is the lead character. Deity or God, holy person, a decent living man, or spirit
are all possible definitions of Shite. The main performers' characters are formed using
a combination of masks and elaborate costumes. The Shite's movement or actions
are extremely significant because they express the method or feelings being
transmitted to the audience.
- Waki is the supporting actor. Priest, monk, or samurai are some of the roles played
by the waki. In contrast to Shite, the waki always represents living individuals
- The stage attendants are known as Koken. They are not part of the act, but they
assist performers in a variety of ways, including handling props.

Lesson
Wayang Kulit
3
Wayang kulit, also known as wayang purwa ("shadow play"), is a puppet theater that
is native to Java, Indonesia's most populated island, but also flourished on the
Indonesian islands of Bali and Lombok, as well as the Malay Peninsula's state of
Kelantan.
Wayang refers to kinds of puppet theaters, sometimes the puppet itself is referred to
as wayang. Performances of shadow puppet theaters are accompanied by a Gamelan
orchestra in Java, and by Gender Wayang in Bali. Wayang Kulit, or shadow puppets,
are without a doubt the best known of the Indonesian Wayang. Kulit means skin and
refers to the leather construction of the puppets that are carefully shaped with very
fine tools and supported with carefully shaped buffalo horn handles and control rods.
The stories are usually drawn from the Hindu epics; Ramayana, Mahabharata, and
Serat Menak a story about the heroism of Amir Hamza. Wayang Kulit Performance
consists of shadows cast on a cotton screen and an oil lamp.
25
The Dalang a puppet master, manipulates all the puppets to the theater from voice-
over, singing, and movements. The Dalang selects a story that is appropriate for the
village or location. This decision was taken to demonstrate a valuable moral lesson.
When you arrive at the performance. The Dalang inquires about current occurrences
in the area and uses the story to show possible remedies.

Wayang kulit is a rite as well as a drama that lasts an entire night, from 9 p.m. to 7
a.m. It is used to banish evil spirits and cure people at weddings and circumcisions.
Wayang kulit also has complex mythology and philosophy attached to it. The
mythological basis for some of the wayang kulit narratives is the two great Hindu
epics, the Mahabharata and the Ramayana. The Ramayana shows Prince Rma's
search for Princess St, who has been kidnapped by the monster king Rvaa, with the
help of the white monkey god Hanuman. The conflict between the five knightly
26
brothers, the Pandavas, and the hundred rival princes, the Kurawas, is depicted in
the Mahabharata. These narratives, however, are simply the skeleton for a massive
cycle of interconnected episodes created by the show's creators.
Wayang gedog theater performances are based on stories from the Panjie cycle, and
the actors wear wayang topeng or wayang gedog masks. The words gedog and topeng
both mean "mask."

For two years, potential apprentices learn their trade-in Kodo village. A strict diet,
exercise, practice, and work regimen are followed throughout this time to help
trainees enhance their physical, musical, and spiritual abilities. In addition, they use
traditional farming methods to raise their own rice and other foods in the community.
The Kodo Taiko ensemble, which was founded 25 years ago, is responsible for the
constant beating of several thunderous taiko drums. Every summer, in the
southeastern part of Sado, this event takes place. Taiko drums provide a deep,
resonant sound. They are traditionally beaten to ward off evil spirits. In war, they
were used to give orders and quicken the blood of warriors.
Aoi Matsuri
The big attraction of this festival is the massive parade of people costumed in Heian-
era aristocracy that goes from Kyoto's royal palace to Kamo Shrine.
