Performers sit on a small mattress in front of the audience and act out stories with a comic style and structure. In RAKUGO\, the performer can be a narrator\, but usually performs the actual characters in the story. These characters converse without a narrator coming between them. The challenge for the performer is switching from one distinct character to another. Each character represents exaggerated aspects of the human personality\, which we can all readily related to. The predicaments\, which they find themselves in\, are part of everyday life.\nTo view the programme booklet\, click here.\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width="1/6"][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_section full_width="stretch_row" css=".vc_custom_1655691435389{background-color: #e1e1e1 !important;}"][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]PERFORMERS[/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width="2/5"][vc_single_image source="external_link" alignment="center" custom_src="https://www.jfkl.org.my/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Shofukutei-Kakushow-225x300-1.jpg" css=".vc_custom_1655690722582{padding-bottom: 20px !important;}"][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width="3/5"][vc_column_text]\nSHOFUKUTEI KAKUSHO 笑福亭 鶴笑\nStarted his career as a Rakugo performer in 1984 under\, Shofuketei Shokaku\, one of Rakugo masters.
