What is Kabuki?

Kabuki is a style of classical Japanese dance-drama theatre known for its elaborate make-up, costumes, outlandish wigs, and the exaggerated actions performed by the actors.
The origin of Kabuki dates back to the early 17th century where women performed through dancing and acting. However due to issues the government banned women from the Kabuki theatre and since then only men are allowed up on stage.
At the early 18th century, the art of Kabuki became established that became what it is today with the over dramatic presentation and seriousness of the play.
The plots of Kabuki is usually based on historical events, warm hearted dramas, moral conflicts, love stories, tales of tragedy of conspiracy, or other well-known stories. However what makes Kabuki performance unique is that they only the best part of the story rather then the entire story.
Another specialty of the kabuki stage is the foot bridge or hanamichi. It is a long narrow stage in the middle of the audience where the actors will make their dramatic entrance or exit during the play.
