Kabuki star Ebizo Ichikawa is convinced Parisians won't have any problem understanding the emotional drama of Japan's traditional theater that he says goes beyond language barriers.
The 29-year-old actor, appearing with his father Danjuro Ichikawa and others at the Paris Opera house later this month, says foreign audiences usually come more prepared to his performances and are more attentive.
