Kabuki today can roughly be seen in two different worlds.

One is the traditional Kabuki performed in major theaters, where actors from long-established families continue the art under the management of the theater company Shochiku. In this world, traditions are carefully preserved and only a limited number of actors can appear on stage.

The other world is a newer style of Kabuki-inspired performance. Artists use Kabuki techniques but perform outside traditional theaters, sometimes incorporating modern staging, international tours, or online platforms like YouTube.
