Bunraku Bay Puppet Troupe at Seattle Center
About Kotobuki Shiki Sanbaso and The Lion Dance
Using puppets, costumes and props, Bunraku Bay Puppet Troupe will begin their performance with a traditional celebratory dance piece called Kotobuki Shiki Sanbaso. Using puppetry that originated in masked Noh drama, the Sanbaso starts as a light-hearted performance meant to purify the theater and scatter good fortune on the audience. Using lively gestures, the troupe will mimic the planting of rice and presence of animals. Not only is this an uplifting and joyful story, it is also incredibly humorous because dispersing good fortune and cleansing a theater requires a lot of energy and the characters begin to act strange when tired.
