But with its archaic language and arcane conventions, even the staunchest fans of Japan's classical comedic theater acknowledge it doesn't have a whole lot of mass appeal For comparison, he noted, baseball games at the Tokyo Dome regularly draw about 50,000 fans Scandal Strikes Venerable Kyogen Theater Jan 8, 12:31 PM EST Kyogen is one of the world's oldest forms of drama He inherited the title at age 21, following the death of his father " Izumi and his flamboyant manager, who is also his mother, are suing the guild, which voted him out in October for showing up late for performances, double booking shows or canceling them at the last minute Guild officials have refused to comment Its history is tightly intertwined with the Izumi family Most are small affairs, and even the largest venue, the National Noh Theater, seats only about 700 people But there is little evidence that Izumi's celebrity â€â€? and the popularity of another young kyogen actor, Mansai Nomura, who along with more traditional roles has also played supporting parts on mainstream TV dramas â€â€? is translating into much of a boost for kyogen itself He recently returned from a tour of the United States, and is scheduled to perform in Venice next year "About as many people attended two sellout games between the U He has made the school the first to be gender equal â€â€? and appears onstage with his sisters despite the classical theaters' centuries-old ban on women "But as people of culture, we feel that this situation should never have been allowed to happen Young and handsome, talented and impeccably bred, Motoya Izumi had done TV commercials and stars in a prime-time historical drama on a major network The Izumis say they will ride out the storm " Kyogen, which means "crazy talk," dates back in its earliest forms to the eighth century, when it evolved out of a Chinese stage entertainment that included everything from juggling to magic tricks and was performed for court nobles "This is how I have tried to react At 28, he is its youngest grand master Izumi first performed abroad at age 14 in China, and has since visited 30 cities in 11 other countries Kyogen has never had the fame or critical respect of such rivals as kabuki or the puppet theater, and is still often performed as comic relief between the longer, more aesthetically polished offerings of Noh "As a kyogen actor, I am trained to always show my smile," Izumi said recently when asked how he reacted to the guild's decision to expel him two months ago "When they throw fireballs at us, we must throw them back," his mother, Setsuko Izumi, said And true to kyogen's comic tradition, his stardom has an ironic twist: Hardly anyone has actually seen him on stage But what really captured the public's attention is Izumi's seemingly endless battle with his peers, who instead of welcoming his popularity as a godsend have booted him out of their guild S For more than a year, Japan has been enthralled by the young grand master of the venerable House of Izumi He has also actively sought a broader fan base And gossip magazines couldn't get enough of his courtship and marriage last year to a well-known actress Motoya Izumi is 20th grand master of one of kyogen's two main branches, a school that dates back 564 years Supporters of Izumi say the guild's real motivation was jealousy â€â€? and smoldering resentment of his youth and willingness to break with tradition "I would like to perform anywhere there are people who want to see kyogen," he said Over the centuries, it developed in tandem with Noh as a uniquely Japanese art focusing on wry wit, parody and visual humor Though he stresses the value of kyogen's venerable traditions, Izumi has also been willing to reshape it for today's audiences, who tend to find its old-style dialogue and esoteric stage conventions hard to grasp Shin Kodama, a traditional drama critic, said there are about 400 amateur and professional performances of kyogen and Noh each year in the Tokyo area He started training when he was 1 years old, and made his stage debut at just 3, playing a monkey and Japanese all star baseball teams last month as watch kyogen and Noh in the Tokyo area in a year," he said Now, however, it at least has a star Adding on to the Izumi school's 254-play repertoire, he has performed new plays and adaptations of Shakespeare and Moliere According to an affidavit in the case, Carter was arrested after she obtained two prescriptions for the anti-depressant Zoloft in the name of Francis Reidy III, a boyfriend who died a month earlier Carter was charged in December 2002 with identity theft to obtain prescription drugs WTVF-TV reported her bond had been revoked because she failed a drug test M A court hearing in the case is set for April 12 Sumner County jail officials would not say why the 48-year-old country singer was in custody If convicted, she faces two to 12 years in prison Both her mother and stepfather died last year She pleaded no contest in September 2003 and was sentenced to 18 months' probation Carter's hits include "I Fell in Love" in 1990, and "Every Little Thing" in 1993 Carter was arrested in New Mexico in June 2001 on heroin possession charges Country Singer Carlene Carter Jailed Apr 1, 10:41 PM EST Carlene Carter, stepdaughter of Johnny Cash and daughter of country singers June Carter Cash and Carl Smith, has been jailed, authorities said Thursday His estate sued Carter last month over a home the two once shared in Santa Fe, N Another former boyfriend, Grammy Award-winning bass player Howie Epstein, died of a drug overdose in 2003 |
