"Carmen" by Kanda Kyoko


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MZIU_8flGIw

Here is Kanda Kyoko!  She is my favorite talk artist.  Whenever she appears at Nigiwaiza in Yokohama, I go see her.  Her talk art is called Koudan 講談.  It is different from Rakugo 落語.
In Koudan, artists talk before a low table and use a spatula (I don't know what to call that) to make sounds for rhythm.

"Carmen" is the story. Enjoy!
