• Resumen

  • This work aims to investigate the elements that connects the Bunraku Theater with the film Dolls (2002), by theJapanese director Takeshi Kitano. Considered one of the great scenic arts in japan, the Bunraku is characterized bythe sangyo, who refers to the presence of three different arts performing simultaneously: the joruri, which is a typeof chanted narrative, the music, played in an acoustic instrument called shamisen, and the visual presentation, bythe manipulation of puppets.In Dolls, the director Takeshi Kitano presents a narrative through three different stories, all built with references tothe Bunraku. This references are more than a simple inspiration exerting an influence that is reflected through all thelanguage of the film, in the simplicity of the dialogues and interpretation of the actors, in the way narratives areinterspersed, as well as in how music and image are presented. As in the theater the three distinct arts harmonizeon stage, in Dolls these elements and also the three stories will perform separately but in harmony within the film. Byconfronting the Bunraku Theater with the film Dolls, the intention is to establish the connections between the sceniclanguage of the Bunraku, the dramaturgy of this theater, represented by Chikamatsu and the cinema of Kitano.These connections allows the understanding of how characteristics from a secular scenic art, governed by strongrules and conventions, can be presented again through another language: the cinematic language.
