To bring the imposing drums with diameter up to 1.70 meter to the blades, especially one called the eleven Ensemble as well as a pronounced sense of rhythm: full physical usage. But TAO is not only martial drums and vibrations, which penetrate the body from the toes to the roots of the hair. TAO is also an adult an interplay between the deep rumbling of huge Wadaiko drums and delicate, fragile moments full of lyrical beauty, from the philosophy of the far East.
In Japan, the drum in the religious worship of the early days was as a link to the higher powers, as a mouthpiece, which should bring the gods and spirits and solicit their support and goodwill. Rediscovered by young musicians in recent decades as a musical instrument and modernized in his style of play, she brought TAO now the enthusiasm for a global audience, and that for years. 2004 at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival for the first time by European spectators celebrated the musical troupe preparing again to push the pulse of their audience in the height.
