The book provides an in-depth exploration of traditional Japanese theater, focusing on its unique structure, performance styles, and cultural significance. Lequeux’s work likely serves as a guide for Western readers to appreciate the rich traditions and practices of Japanese dramaturgy. The opening of the book describes the vibrant atmosphere of a Japanese theater, emphasizing its architectural features, audience engagement, and distinct customs. Lequeux paints a picture of a lively setting, where the audience participates in the performance by sharing space with the actors. He details various elements of the staging, such as the innovative use of revolving platforms and the incorporation of music that aligns with the emotional tone of the drama. The author also notes the absence of women in leading roles, instead highlighting how male actors take on female characters, and discusses the improvised nature of performances that reflect real-life experiences, making the theater a truly immersive experience for its audience.
