Blue Man x Kodo BLUMAN MEETS Wadaiko

[Machine Translation] Blue Man Theatre has been packed every day. The show will finally end its run on March 31, 2012. For the first time in Japan! Two DVDs containing the Japanese performances will be released simultaneously! The titles of the DVDs are written by Koji Kakinuma, a contemporary Japanese calligrapher who wrote the title of the NHK historical drama "Fu-Rin-Kazan" in which Kamejiro Ichikawa appeared, and performed calligraphy at Kodo's international art festival "Earth Celebration" on Sado Island in Niigata Prefecture. Blue Man and Kodo, a taiko drum performance group based on Sado Island, Niigata Prefecture, will perform together. The theme of this volume is "Rhythm x Rhythm," and the powerful rhythm battle between the two groups is a highlight. The collaboration of Japanese drums and paint drums is a unique but powerful video that draws the viewer in. Recorded on March 29, 2011 at the Blue Man Theater in Roppongi, Tokyo.
