Spittoon Poetry at Chill Bar

Event QR Code

As part of Spittoon’s Birthday Month — we’re turning 9! — we’re holding a special edition of Poetry Night on Thursday. We have a visiting author from Vienna — the famed translator Martin Winter — who will be reading, and the second half will be devoted to neo-Benshi. As David Harrison Horton explains it:
"In the silent film era, Japanese audiences would be treated with an in-house host to narrate the action on the screen, and often they would dramatically take on the roles of the characters on screen. Benshi were performers key to bringing both the domestic and foreign films to life for the audiences not accustomed to the new medium of film. The original benshi often, though not always, did this with the help of musical accompaniment. This practice soon migrated to other Asian countries, including Korea and China.
In China, a successful movie-teller was often in high-demand, and there was a circuit for films with good narrators and a small team of musicians.
Neo-Benshi is a way to recognize this forgotten artform, and to use it as a way to present a different way of seeing movies."
