So tonight alex and I went and saw the Awaji Puppet Theater Company with live chanting and shamisen music accompaniment. First off, the drive there was ridiculous. I got a flat, when we showed up we had no cash, ran to the nearest atm, and was hoping that there were other worldly puppet previews Ex: Swedish puppet preview with talks of silk clothing, African puppet previews, anything really- just so we wouldnt be late.... So we finally scrounge up enough cash and get our asses in there. The first thing I wanted was a beer, but the show escort guy gave me some tude' because the show 'had started' and I had to tuck my drinking habits away.
It was very interesting, and I can honestly say I had never experienced something like that before. But thank god no one was with Alex and I, because we were laughing at the most ridiculous things. Not to mention during the intermission we were in midst of farmer hoggett from babe, and I was LOVING IT. Not only did we sing the songs he danced to, but whenever we would turn and look to double check, he would just smile at us.
So If you decide you would like to soak yourself in some Japanese folk puppetry, its showing for one more night at the dinsey music hall.
