落語

I attended a 落語 performance by 桂福団治落語会, which is organized by the Japan Association for the Japan Cultural Festival on 4 October 2007, Thursday. I first got to know about 落語 from the drama Tiger and Dragon. I find 落語 interesting and want to take this opportunity to attend the performance. It is conversed all in Japanese. I am glad that I can understand most of it.

There are two normal 落語 performances and also 手話落語 performances. For 手話落語 performances, the performer uses sign and body languages to perform 落語, and there is a narrator during the performance. I admire these two performers. They are handicapped but yet able to find a way to show their potentials.

On the whole, I find the performance interesting. I really hope to attend 落語 performance again.
