About Gekidan Buraiha
Gekidan Buraiha was a theater company, a part of the so-called Angura scene that included notable troupes such as Tenjō Sajiki, led by Shūji Terayama; Jōkyō Gekijo, led by Jūrō Kara, Black Tent Theater (originally known as Theater Center 68), led by Makoto Satō; and Waseda Little Theater, led by Tadashi Suzuki. Gekidan Buraiha began through the efforts of its main actor Kanna Ten (Minoru Takahashi) and his friends, who were all members of the same theater workshop at Kokugakuin University. It was the early ’70s, and the crew would frequently drop in at the rehearsal space occupied by Jūrō Kara’s Jōkyō Gekidan, essentially becoming part of the group’s support crew, and appearing on occasion as extras in their performances. Through this relationship, the workshop was able to obtain permission to stage their own production of Jūrō Kara’s drama The Glass Ensign. Although the troupe was only active between 1974 and 1976, they also staged two highly rated performances of their own plays I Saw the Rose of Destruction Last Night and The Commandment of Evil.
