Bunraku November Bunraku Performance: Kanadehon Chushingura, Parts 1 and 2 (November 2024)
From 11 in the morning to past 8 at night, I made it through Kanadehon Chushingura from the opening act to Act Seven, Jagariko in hand. A breath-holding seppuku scene, my favourite pine curtain, and a lost phone to finish: my full-day run at the National Bunraku Theatre's 40th anniversary.
