Feel the Heartbeat of Japan with Taiko Drumming

Description

Having delivered over 5,000 performances in 55 countries and regions, Japanese taiko group Yamato takes the stage in Hong Kong with Hinotori – The Wings of Phoenix at the Asia+ Festival. 

The performance features more than 40 drums thundering on stage, including the colossal odaiko: a 500 kilogram drum two metres in diameter, carved from a 400-year-old tree. With 11 drummers in colourful costumes, the troupe pushes their physical limits to embody the resilience of the phoenix, while the delicate strains of the shamisen, koto, and shinobue add emotional depth, stirring the soul of every audience member.

The performance will be held on 7 November at 19:30 and 8 November at 19:30.
