FOOTAGE number

Video title
Bunraku
Date
1973 AD (C20th AD)
Video description

Bunraku, the classical Japanese puppet art, which uses three-quarters life-sized figures, handled by black-clothed manipulators who remain in plain view of the audience, convention rendering them invisible. These scenes trace Bunraku from the making of the puppets and the way in which their limbs are articulated, to their costuming and reflections on their relationship to kabuki theater. It includes complete performances of works for Bunraku. Commentary by the well-known authority on dance and Asian arts, Faubion Bowers
