Kodo at The Granada Theatre

A performance by Kodo, Japan’s most celebrated taiko drumming ensemble, is a rare treat: part athletic feat, part artistic sensation, and an all-around electrifying experience. Created by Kodo’s brilliant artistic director and kabuki star Tamasaburo Bando – who was recently named a Living National Treasure in Japan – Mystery evokes the mood of otherworldly splendor and awe found in the world’s most sacred places. A tour-de-force display of exquisite musicianship, Shinto dancing and dazzling visual theater, Mystery breathes new life into ancient folk art traditions. Come enter a realm of darkness and light, exotic creatures, mysterious reverberations – and the legendary “wall of sound."
