Japońska narracja shinnai i taniec buyō
The Japanese shinnai Narrative and buyō Dance

Summary/Abstract: The author describes a performance of Japanese artists in Krakow, guiding the reader through the history and the techniques of the forms used in the show: the strictly oral and somewhat improvisatory shinnai style and the buy? dance, which is a synthesis of various forms that have developed from centuries long past, in sacral, court, and folk contexts. Next Żeromska describes the four-part performance, emphasizing that the emotions were heightened by the tragic events that had recently rocked Japan – the earthquake and tsunami.
