Greek vs. Kabuki

According to my source of http://academic.reed.edu/humanities/110tech/Theater.html , Greek theater is an art form in the realm of self-expression. It began in the early B.C eras. It was originally to explain local stories and then turned into the legend and myths explainer such as the myths of Zeus and Aries. This was mainly something for male actors, though a few women broke this barrier. Greek theater, overall, is the same as kabuki posted in the last post but it differs as well. It is the same in that it has a lot of harp and string instrumental usage. It is also the same that more males play the roles and that they use a lot of blocking. Yet the differences are in that Kabuki is more musically intact, whereas the greek theater uses a lot of acting and drama. I personally like Kabuki style theater better because I LOVE MUSIC!!! But the acting and drama taking place in Greek style theater is mighty attracting in itself.
