Japanese Woman Brings Rakugo to France
A report from FTV news about a Japanese woman who traveled to France to perform rakugo comedic storytelling in French:
- The woman in the video is Masayo Kondo, the 53-year-old manager of a winery in Osaka. She studied French when she was a university student.
- She translates the story for her performance into French with the help of her teacher Nikola. She practiced quite a lot for her performance, and the report shows her practicing at a cafe upon her arrival in France.
- The story she tells is about a man and his pet crocodile, which has a taste for human flesh.
- She performs at a Japanese restaurant, and several of the audience members seemed to have liked their first rakugo experience. (Didn’t hear very much laughter in the video, though.)
