What is kabuki theatre? How is this term used in politics?

Kabuki theatre is classical Japanese dance-drama, with very stylised action, masks and heavy make-up. It dates back to the early 17th century, when it was popular with audiences but frowned upon by the authorities. The government saw it as 'actor prostitution' and in 1629 banned female participation Today it is looked upon more favourably. Modern translations of the word are often more generic: 'the art of singing and dancing' .
