Answer to Question 1

Sets for Chinese opera and kabuki are similar in that they both emphasize the performer. The set for Chinese opera is sparse; usually the set consists of just a table, two chairs, and a rug. The sparseness allows the actor to define the location of the scenes. In contrast, the kabuki theatre has flamboyant sets, with vivid painted backdrops and a stage is equipped with devices that allow for dazzling scenic effects. Even so, the backdrops are specifically two-dimensional images so as not to upstage the performer. Small set pieces are used only if the actor interacts with them; they are not used to decorate the space.

Answer to Question 2

False
