長唄 鷺娘・若柳尚雄里＊Naoyuri Wakayagi performed Nagauta Sagimusume
日本舞踊【鷺娘】は、白鷺と人間の娘の両性具有の設定で、雪が深深と降る中、池のほとりの一本の柳の木のそばで、蛇の目傘をさした娘が佇んでいる。恋に悩む娘の苦しい胸の内を踊り始めて、それが恨みへと変化していく。引き抜き後は、華やかな恋心を様々に表現します。やがて恋に迷った娘は白鷺となり、地獄の責めの苦しさに羽をばたつかせ苦悩する。最後は力尽き、雪の降りしきる中、息絶えるのであった。
Sagimusume is depicted as an androgynous existence of a heron and a human daughter.
In a scene where snow falls steadily on one side,a pure white heron with an umbrella stands by a willow tree by the snow pond.
She begins to dance in the painful breasts of a woman suffering from love and shows her grudge.
After that,she pulls out and changes,expressing her gorgeous love in the from of a town girl.
Eventually,the girl lost in love becomes an egret,flapping her wings and suffering in hell.
The Egret,who was fascinated by the suffering ,finally ran out of breath,ending her breath,as she was exhausted.
