Ever-lasting Art of Japanese Theatre

This documentary celebrates Kabuki, the four hundred year old theatrical art that stands as one of the great symbols of Japanese culture. It focuses on rural Kabuki, a tradition that honours the spirits of nature and is quietly fading as its last actors hold on. Through their devotion, it captures a living art form on the edge of disappearance. A beautiful, reflective watch on Japanese theatre, heritage and the people keeping it alive.
