Through the performances of the Kabuki Dance, Shigure Saigyo, and the classical Sankyoku music, Kajimakura, Salon Series No. 52 will explore the life of asobime (play girl) and shirabyoshi (dancer/medieval entertainers, described as the profane, and yet who served a sacred role in Japanese history). Originally a Noh play adopted to a Kabuki dance, Shigure Saigyo surrounds an episode about a poet/monk, Saigyo, and a courtesan/ Boddhisatva, while Kajimakura is about the impermanence of entertainers’ lives.
