Origine & histoire
Rakugo is a 400-year-old form of seated comic storytelling in which a single performer plays every character with only a fan and a cloth as props.
Bon à savoir
No reservations — buy at the box office and choose any seat. The language is fast, but the physical comedy of iromono acts needs no translation.
