Quotes & Highlights

  • “Extraordinarily talented … incomparable muscular zeal.” --Chicago Tribune

Description

Athletic bodies and contemporary costumes meet explosive Taiko drumming and innovative choreography in this show that has critics raving about TAO’s extraordinary precision, energy and stamina. The stars of TAO train and live at a compound in the mountains of Japan. The performers reach the highest level of virtuosity only after years of intensive study, however they each bring nontraditional flair to the group by drawing on their diverse backgrounds: one as a hard rock musician, another as a gymnast and yet another as a composer. They offer a young and vibrantly modern take on a traditional art form.
