Article description: (description)
This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | The Takarazuka Revue is a unique Japanese theatre troupe over a century old (having started in 1913); the original gimmick was to break the standard actor rules and have unmarried women perform all the roles. The troupe is popular with female audiences, as the performances are usually very melodramatic and elaborately designed, with loads of pretty costumes. After the first year of being taught, actresses get played into classes for their roles more or less permanently: musumeyaku (girl role) and otokoyaku (boy role). The latter are traditionallly exclusively breeches roles, where actresses start to cut their hair short, wear pants rather than skirts, and speak with masculine pronouns, though some very versatile otokoyaku also play female roles. |
