Overview
Kodo, the Japanese taiko drumming ensemble from Sado Island, brings its new production Shoso to the Barbican Hall in London on this tour. The programme centres on the traditional taiko drum.
Kodo has been performing since its debut at the Berlin Festival in 1981 and has given more than 7,000 performances in over 50 countries and regions across five continents. The ensemble works with the traditional Japanese taiko drum and continues to explore its possibilities as a living art form.
The production Shoso takes its title from a Japanese word coined for the sensation of soaring and running. It is directed by Yoshie Abe, who is the ensemble's deputy leader and the first woman to hold a leadership post in the troupe since its formation. On stage Abe plays taiko and sings, alongside the rest of the group.
