The Art of Kabuki with Shozo Sato

Combining dance, music and drama, Kabuki is a dramatic and flamboyant Japanese theatrical form that originated in the 1600s. Theater director Shozo Sato—a master of Japanese tea ceremony, flower arrangement and classical dance—visits the IMA to perform and demonstrate Kabuki technique. Known internationally for his cultural fusion of Kabuki style with classical European stories, Shozo Sato has written and directed such productions as Kabuki Medea and Kabuki Macbeth. Shozo Sato is Professor Emeritus at the University of Illinois and currently teaches at Northwestern University.

Co-presented by the Japan-America Society of Indiana and the Indianapolis Museum of Art Asian Art Society.
