TAO
Concert Hall
Athletic bodies and contemporary costumes
meet explosive Taiko drumming and innovative
choreography in this show that has critics waxing
lyrical about TAO’s extraordinary precision,
energy and stamina. With hundreds of sold-out
shows and more than a million spectators, TAO
has proven that modern entertainment based
on the traditional art of Japanese drumming has
massive international appeal.
The stars of TAO live and train at a compound in
the mountains of Japan, reaching the highest level
of virtuosity only after years of intensive study.
They offer a young and vibrantly modern take on a
traditional art form.
“Extraordinarily talented...incomparable
muscular zeal.”– Chicago Tribune
