小豆島に300年以上、江戸時代から続く農村歌舞伎が開催されます。農村歌舞伎というのは、プロの役者や大きな会社が運営する歌舞伎ではなく、地元の方によって代々受け継がれている地芝居です。
Shodoshima’s village kabuki performances have existed since the Edo period. The village kabuki is local performance which isn’t managed by professional kabuki actor and big company, but local people. This tradition itself is thoroughly alive and extremely changeable. The performers are, of course, people from the island.
それ故に、とても温かい雰囲気があって、
観客席からの掛け声や、役者のセリフ回しにも、
地元ならではのアレンジが加わっていて、笑いがおこります。
Thus, you can relax in the warm atmosphere of the stage.
Calling out encouragement and lines of actors are arranged on the creation of unique local varieties, and spark a small ripple of laughter from the audience.
地元の観客は、破籠(わりごう)弁当という弁当箱をもって酒を片手に
家族や親戚と桟敷席に座って観覧するのが地元に古くから伝わる娯楽となっています。
The local audience bring along lunchboxes (Warigou Bento) and sake (Japanese rice wine) to make it even more fun. They watches the straw covered stages in outdoor theaters.
最盛期には、島全体で舞台が30以上、役者が600~700人もいたそうです。
現在は、小豆島の米どころでもある、中山と肥土山の2箇所に残っていて、
五穀豊穣をお祈りする奉納歌舞伎でもあります。
Kabuki here has a 300 year history, and once there were close to 1000 people involved in the productions, including tayu, actors, and other kabuki characters on stages in more than 30 places. This kabuki is only performed once a year and along with the festival’s dedication ceremony, both the actors and the audience become lively.
