RAKUGO experience in English - Traditional Japanese comic monologue... and more! -
CANVASラウンジで英語で落語を楽しむイベント「Rakugo experience in English ～英語で落語～」を開催中。
約400年の歴史を持つ日本の伝統芸能である落語は、話者が一人で演じるパフォーマンス。使う小道具は扇子と手ぬぐいのみというシンプルさで、話者の動きや表情で想像力をかき立てる面白さが魅力です。
英語落語21年の経験を持つ「小夜姫」を迎えます。英語で聞ける方はもちろん、身振り手振りや表情などだけでも楽しめる「RAKUGO」をお楽しみください。
