How will the globally renowned opera Carmen be transformed through the traditional Japanese art of Kabuki? With English subtitles, everyone can enjoy the performance!

Karume, an oiran residing in Yoshiwara, and Carmen, a free-spirited woman from Spain.

One was confined to a cage, while the other continually fled from it.

Their lives seem to be complete opposites—

Yet both understood the desires of men, sometimes manipulating them, sometimes being manipulated.

They were beautiful, strong—and lonely.

Though they were loved, what they truly yearned for was the right to choose their own fate.

What awaited them at the end of that wish— Was it tragedy? Or a proud and dignified conclusion? As these two “Carmens” converge on this stage, what form of “freedom” will you discover?

Please enjoy the performance until the very end.
