With the Katanaya Ichi troupe, Japan Expo becomes a real chanbara for a moment. This actor troupe makes the blades speak in an extraordinary spectacle.
It is a scenic return to feudal Japan: samurai warriors, ninjas with acrobatic movements, sword battles that dance blades in a demonstration between historical reproduction and staging.
This silent spectacle makes the body and steel speak before the tongue, thus making it universal.
The tata (the art of sabre combat) is a form of martial art mainly developed for theatre, cinema and TV drama.
The members of the troupe use their katana in choreographed clashes and adapt by body language traditional tales of East Asia.
Actors, like the samurai of cinema and pop culture, are importing more and more fashionable art.
Katanaya Ichi, after 17 years of experience, enjoys growing visibility due to her performance in many countries (Croatia, United Arab Emirates, Netherlands, etc.) and their exemplary mastery of tate.
Their aim is to promote this art, but also Japanese culture in the hope of increasing international exchanges with Japan.
