Taishu Engeki: the Japanese Theatre for the People
Taishu Engeki is a genre of popular theatre in Japan. It is often described as “light theatre” and compared to forms such as musical theatre and revues. Taishu Engeki is a very special form of Japanese theatre which seeks closeness to the audience and presents itself in a light-hearted manner. However, Taishu Engeki is also a constantly evolving art form which bends both gender and genre.
