Anyeint (; ; (ビルマ語:အငြိမ့်); also spelt a-nyeint) is a traditional Burmese entertainment form that combines dance with instrumental music, song, and comedy routines, in theatrical performances.〔Seekins, Donald M. (2006) "Anyeint (Anyeint Pwe)" ''Historical dictionary of Burma (Myanmar)'' Scarecrow Press, Lanham, Maryland, (page 77 ), ISBN 978-0-8108-5476-5〕〔(Myanmar Anyeint, Myanmar theatre performance ), (Myanmar Arts ).〕 It is a form of ''pwe'', the Burmese word for traditional entertainment. While classical ''pwe'' can be quite formal and almost ritualistic, ''anyeint'' is considered light entertainment.〔Shepherd, John (2005) "Myanmar (Burma)" ''Continuum encyclopedia of popular music of the world: Volume 5 Asia and Oceania'' Continuum, page 197, 〕 In recent years, popular ''anyeint'' troupes such as Thee Lay Thee & Say Yaung Zoun () and ''Htawara Hninzi'' () have performed overseas, including Thailand, Singapore and the United States, which have large Burmese immigrant populations. VCDs of popular troupes' performances are also widely distributed; politically insensitive ones, including ''Say Yaung Zoun'' (), have been banned by Burmese authorities. ==Characters== The lead singer and dancer in an ''anyeint'' performance is called the ''anyeint minthami'' (). Well-known film actresses and singers, including May Than Nu and Yadana Khin, are often featured as lead ''anyeint'' actresses. The ''anyeint minthami'' dances to instrumental music and singing either a cappella or to music are interspersed with comedic dialogue and slapstick performed by clowns. The result is a sequence of solo and group dances. The costumes of ''anyeint'' performers are identical to those worn by puppets in traditional marionette theater. Although lead actresses were once the main focus of performances, the focus has now shifted to the comedic skits performed. Slapstick comedians, known as ''lu shwin daw'' () or ''lu pyet'' (, although this term is falling out of usage) provide entertainment while the ''minthami'' changes outfits. Zaganar and Kutho were successful comedians in early ''anyeint'' revival. In more recent times, well-known film actors and singers, such as Ye Lay, Nay Toe and Htun Htun,Kyaw Kyaw Bo, have featured as comedians.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=LA ရင်ခွင်သို့နှင်းဆီ အငြိမ့်သဘင်နှင့် စတိတ်ရှိုး ကြေညာ )〕 Comedians typically dressed in checkered-patterned Taungshay-style ''longyi'' (sarongs) and wear loose coats, a development innovated by U Po Sein, an influential 19th-century performer.〔 An small all-male music orchestra, led by the ''pattala'' (xylophone) music, accompanies the performance. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「anyeint」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
