Differences between Chinese opera and Japanese Noh |
|
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. |
