A unique Japanese theatrical experience worth seeing. - Had heard about Bunraku and wanted to see it for myself. A lovely theatre, a special performance, and an interesting theatrical event. It was made all the more special because of the earphones that transcribed the story into English for me. The large puppets controlled by men in black were operated smoothly, beautifully, well-done. Liked the music, too. A different theatrical experience for someone from the U.S. who has never seen anything like it.
