I'm prepareing preparing* an entertainment show for foreign tourists in Japan.

This show is fusion of typical jJapanese culture and western entertainment.
For example, "下駄 GETA tap dance".
This a tap dance performed using is used by "Geta" which is japanese one of the most famous Japanese shoose shoes in the world.**
Another example is the and, "お経 Okyou chorus".***
We read the Buddhist scriptures to music, like a blend of "gospel" and "Rap music".
We intend to develop**** such a performance.

I'm thinking about the title of the show.

Which do you prefer of these titles?
Which is the most interesting title for you?

①Temple Circus
②That`s ZENtertainment!
③寺(THE) Entertainment!

Will you please tell me your opinion?

* When the plain form of a verb ends with the letter "e" (like "like," "move," "live," or "prepare"), then in order to add an ~ing ending, drop the "e" (like -> liking, move -> moving, etc).

** 下駄 are traditional wooden shoes? It would be good to explain that here. (For example, "this is a tap dance performed wearing Geta, which are the famous traditional Japanese wooden shoes" or something like that).

*** Here, again, you could link the two sentences and explain the meaning of お経. (" . . . Okyou Chorus, in which Okyou - Buddhist scriptures - are set to music like a blend of Gospel and Rap").

**** The verb "intend" works as an auxiliary verb here. "Intend" describes an action (your intention), so you intend to do something. You intend to put on a cultural fusion show, or you intend to write a program, you intend to go to bed early, etc.

I love this idea. I enjoy modern "Tribal Fusion" musical styles, which blend electronica with traditional music styles.

All you titles are good, but my favorite is "That's ZENtertanment" (or you could simplify it to "That ZEN-tertainment")
