Theatre That Holds the Self-
Reflective Mirror up to Culture:
Japanese Regional Amateur Theatre
Reconsidered
Kei HIBINO, Seikei University, Tokyo
musicals, Takarazuka-
follower revues and plays, “fake” kagura
yakuza
Noshiro musical
Yearly produced original musicals featuring local history, spots and
figures since 1980
Étoire Revue
CompanyA Takarazuka follower amateur troupe up and running
since 1998
Yokota Kagura
TroupeA “postmodern” hodgepodge of kagura music, kabuki story,
and nōh dance
Tajiri Troupe in Iwata Town, Toyohashi
City, Aichi Prefecture
Mura Shibai (Rural Theatre) revived in 1996
musical theatre
Emotional indulgence
pre-linguistic pleasure from the eye and the ear
momentary excitement
appeal to sensory
experience and emotion
What can theatre researchers
learn from regional amateur
theatre?
a purified specimen of how
people act, talk and express themselves in
reality
unheimlich
an endangered species
Professional theatre does not reflect the political and
social realities
the
subversive potential in that they cannot
contain their mimetic desire within
theatrical conventions
they reveal a thinly disguised—and
grotesquely dynamic— mimetic desire,
which could renew and reshape our
cognitively constituted reality as a whole
The most radical function of theatre is to
present an alternative to the reality we live in
and thus make us dream of it
political theatre
might be subversive
in content but often conservative in form
established
institutions can change participants
can be movers and shakers
