About Brave Season BASARA

“Brave Season BASARA” develops Tate (Sword battle play) and action performance in Japan.These are often taken by a play for a effect of direction, based on “Budo” and “Kabuki”.But, we are free form tradition and forms.So we are going to close up only for a part of “Tate” and “Action”.And challenge to create a new “Tachimawari” constantly.We hope that you will feel something from the show of “Tachimawari” that is played by a modern.
