Yamato — Chousensha – The Challengers at the Peacock theatre, London
The unmistakable sound of the traditional Taiko drum, used in Shinto rituals, is challenged by the Yamato drummers of Japan. Drums weighing up to half a tonne are hit with ferocious skill, as each beat sends out a heart-thumping torrent of vibrations.
In this high-energy, exhilarating performance, the drummers push their own limits in a staggering display of physical strength as they use their entire bodies to produce their thunderous music.
