Beijing Opera—(also known as the Peking Opera) is a popular form of Chinese theater
that combines acting, spoken dialogue, singing, dancing, athletics, and acrobatics. The
action is accompanied by a traditional Chinese orchestra, which consists mainly of loud
percussion instruments and two-string fiddles. Wooden clappers are used to highlight the
actions on stage. Actors use very few props and convey the meaning of their words and
songs through gestures, mime, movement, and facial expression. The actions of opening a
door, going up stairs, rowing a boat, or threading a needle are done purely through the
actor’s mime-like gestures. The stories of the Beijing Opera were taken from plays
performed in China at an earlier time as well as from traditional stories and novels, which
are often based on actual events in Chinese history.
Kabuki—developed in the late 16th century as an offshoot of dance and puppet shows. Its
beginnings are obscure, but it seems to have developed from open-air performances of
dancing and singing whose themes were taken from epics and myths. Legend has it that
in the early 1600s a Shinto shrine dancer named Okuni “frolicked” (kabuku) on the banks
of the River Kamo in Kyoto. Okuni and her all female troupe created such a lively
performance, mixing dancing with comedy skits, that it became a great success. The
government grew concerned with the possible spread of immorality engendered by the
performances, and in 1629 the shogun, the military ruler of Japan, decreed that women
were no longer allowed to perform in public. At first, female roles were played by young
men, but this, too, led to problems so that by the end of the 16th century only adult males
were allowed to perform in Kabuki. |
