Shidara Thursday, April 10 7:00pm adults $35 / students $5 Deep from the mountains of Japan comes a troupe of twelve brilliant young men and women, presenting the heart-pounding art of Taiko drumming. Blending top-notch skill, blinding energy and breakneck speed, their performances carry a deep spiritual purpose rooted in ancient times. Defying time and place, their music captures the earthy tones of long ago, and thunders with new images of Japanese mountain life. Shidara explodes with masterful sticking, then ushers the audience softly away with the soulful harmonies of bamboo flutes. Adding layer upon layer of passion, precision and humor, the performance builds up to their grand finale, re-creating the 700-year old Hanamatsuri dance festival celebrated in the small villages of home. The sheer joy of Shidara resonates in the minds and hearts of the audience long after the last beat has been played. www.shidara.co.jp
