http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kabuki_Theatre
Kabuki is pretty much what I thought it was. I didn't know they used to attach people to wires so they could "fly" like in Peter Pan. It also stated that the stages were set up so that there was a long platform that extended into the audience, sort of like how some of America's game show stages are set up. The site showed pictures of the stage design if you don't understand what I'm talking about.The site said that Kabuki is known for its stylization of its drama and for the elaborate make-up worn by some of its performers. Its actually known for being weird and bizarre, which I found interesting. To be in a type of theatre that is known for being weird would interest me and make me excited to perform. If I was in Japan, I might want to see a Kabuki production. If they used the wire system, then probably. But I most likely wouldn't want to see it if the actors didn't speak English, because then I would have no idea what was going on.
