Description
Ichikawa Danjuro XII (1946–2013), twelfth in the most prestigious of all kabuki actor dynasties, is depicted here in the aragoto play Shibaraku — one of the eighteen kabuki masterworks (kabuki juhachiban) that the Danjuro line has performed for over three centuries. In Shibaraku, the Danjuro actor makes one of the most spectacular entrances in world theater, striding down the hanamichi in massive red and white makeup and an enormous costume to rescue the unjustly condemned. Binnie captures the role's monumental authority.
