CULTURAL RESEARCH
Kabuki refers to a style of theatre once considered avant-garde.Costumes and especially makeup are essential aspects of Kabuki theatre. Kabuki makeup is supposed to change depending on the actors’ characterization. It is important for the design of the makeup to fit the individual’s features so that it reflects their inner self. On top of this a lot of transformational makeup is used so the actor can be portrayed as the supernatural and super human. The most dramatic makeup is worn by ghosts or demons.
