This free class is offered in conjunction with YBCA's film series, "Girls! Guns! Ghosts! The Sensational Films of Shintoho" and OACC's Asian Pacific American Heritage Month.
Kasane is one of the most famous ghosts in Japanese history. First created for the Kabuki stage by Tsuruya Nanboku in the 1820s, Kasane has since appeared in countless stories, plays, and films.
"A True View of Kasane's Depths" is based on a re-telling of the tale by the rakugo storyteller Encho Sanyutei ("The Peony Lantern"). Sanyutei adds psychological depth to the story, exploring the dark, mysterious realms of human desire and karmic retribution.
The class will also briefly survey the original Kabuki versions of two films featured in the YBCA series, "The Ghost Story of Yotsuya" and "Ghost Cat of Otama Pond."
Films are in Japanese with English translation. Class is free and open to the public. All ages welcome!
If you are curious about why Kabuki's unique combination of drama, music, dance, and spectacle continues to entertain millions every year, "here's your chance to see one of the finest Kabuki films ever made, free, amongst fans and experts who will gladly fill you in on all the social and historical aspects of the performance" (Flavorpill "Editor's Pick").
15 minutes from SF; 2 blocks from 12th Street BART; street parking and onsite parking garage available.
Presented by JETAANC Kabuki Club. Co-sponsored by Oakland Asian Cultural Center (OACC).
