Japanese theatre where only men were allowed to act, even female roles, until ban was recently lifted. Invented in order to allow peasants a theatre of their own, as going to nobles' theatre would result in either having their eyes gouged out or their ears ripped off. Performed in poses rather than fluid action. Often very depressing.
I wanted to see a kabuki production, but it's so expensive and I don't speak old-fashioned Japanese.

Get the Kabul mug.Capital city of Afghanistan. Located in Kabul Province, northeast Afghanistan. People cannot drive, walk out in front of you without looking (then get riot-level pissed if you hit someone), or ride their bikes out in front of you. Dusty, dirty, has good bread and a decent radio station, Kabul Rock (108.0 FM). The Taliban were driven out for the most part, but pop their man-loving, women-beating, limb chopping, self-detonating heads up occasionally. Home to the HQ of Afg Nat. Army and Nat. Police, ANA and ANP.
Man 1 - Off to Kabul again?
Man 2 - Yeah, need to pay off the mortgage...
Man 1 - Get some bread and don't get blown up dude! And watch your cornhole, I heard man-love is all the rage over there. And watch out for the ANP, they're a bunch of dicks.
Man 2 - Will do.

Get the Kabunga Junga mug.Showy posturing performed as an act of theater. Typically used by pundits to describe an empty political performance which serves to satisfy or distract an audience. The name refers to the Japanese tradition of Kabuki theater, eliciting imagery of heavily costumed characters performing sweeping gestures and holding exaggerated poses for an audience. The performance may appear as elaborate and sometimes strange (foreigners in drag).
While the public remained fixated on the Kabuki of the kind words and state visit by the charismatic leader, his administration was doubling down on trade violations and human rights abuses.
