[Cancelled by Cal Performances] Yamato: The Drummers of Japan

Cal Performances 101 Zellerbach Hall, Berkeley, CA 94720 Tuesday, April 7 @ 8:00pm Special GSOC Price: $10 each (you may purchase one guest ticket)

Direct from beautiful Nara Prefecture in Japan, this mesmerizing Japanese company visits with its newest production, a thrilling program that celebrates the unbridled passion and boundless energy of traditional Japanese drumming. With their spiky neon hairstyles and psychedelic punk-meets-samurai costumes, the youthful drummers perform with infectious spirit and masterful coordination on massive drums built from ancient tree trunks. "A genuinely theatrical experience, delivered with balletic grace and infectious humor" (The Times, London).

It was simply captivating. The incredible talent and sheer enjoyment of what they do was plain to see.
