Many people ask me that question. Kabuki is a Japanese performing art, generally involving music, dance and acting. The costumes are extravagant, the sets are beautiful. Generally the performances are by men (I think). Kabuki was first created by a woman , but eventually only men could perform in Kabuki.
I have added a you tube video of a Kabuki dance, this is narrated so you understand what is going on in the story.
It is quite a long video, but it gives you an idea of what Kabuki is about.
Very interesting Wendy,you have given me some ideas for my blog!
