- Synopsis
KAMUI’s theme for Festival Fringe 2008 is “the soul of the Japanese samurai.” The troupe will embody real samurai soul and bring an artistic and action-filled show to life with authentic performances of martial arts and intense battles among legendary sword masters.
The show also includes a humorous performance in which some members of the audience are invited onto the stage. Samurai Spirit ends with a special piece featuring the performers in black suits interacting in a beautiful dancing-style reminiscent of the fight scenes from “Kill Bill Vol. I”. A wide variety of weapons will be used in the show including Japanese swords, long-handled swords, double swords, spears, as well as Japanese fans and umbrellas.
- Background
Japanese Sword Performance Troupe KAMUI was formed in 1998 by Tetsuro Shimaguchi, Hiroaki Kawaguchi, and others.
KAMUI is headed by Shimaguchi who gained notoriety from the scene "Fight in a Snowy Garden" from Quentin Tarantino's "Kill Bill Volume 1". A sword master, Shimaguchi choreographed the sword-fighting for the film and also appeared as the character Crazy 88 #1 "Miki".
KAMUI is particularly devoted to the sword and has raised their technical level to extreme heights. The troupe sometimes choreographs their sword-fighting to music including traditional Japanese taiko and shamisen as well as modern rock and trance. They have performed around Japan and at the Kennedy Center in Washington D.C. in Los Angeles, Las Vegas, and Chicago in the US and in Edinburgh, Scotland.
KAMUI is available for performances, film, and TV appearances inside and outside of Japan.
