Research Abstract

This research is one part of the scheme to place the traditional, local and popular theatre into the map of the reception of Shakespeare in “Asia, “including “Japan”. The aim is to analyze the nature of the present “intercultural” Shakespeare productions seen in the global or local scenes. For this purpose, I have focused on the “Shinsaku Noh Shakespeare” project as one example of the traditional “high culture” trying to incorporate Shakespeare as one of the “Honzetsu” (source material) to create a new repertoire. Another focus was on Shakespeare themes included in the Okinawan theatre such as Ryukyuan Opera and Shinsaku Kumiodori as examples of the local and popular theatre created with the influence from other Asian countries.
