I got chills and the final piece shook my body and surrounding like an earthquake. I thought the building was gonna collapse for a sec. Tonight was their last but I'm looking forward to their return.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07176861987219653294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1658202452707400073.post-33516980660820298802017-03-04T22:12:39.800-05:002017-03-04T22:12:39.800-05:00This is the 2nd time I see Kodo.

This is a little more like the first show I saw, in that it is just men, and its more drumming and less melody. But the direction of the Kabuki master it's very evident in the staging, the choreography, and the vast variety of drum sounds. The occasional use of beautiful subtle melodies is extraordinary. And while the performers function as a team, their individual talents and personalities come out. Some of the men are consistently dignified and serious, where others display youthful and happy dispositions. I don't believe this is just due to acting. I think the performers talents and personalities are encouraged to emerge.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14613387846053385608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1658202452707400073.post-3971195263630845812017-03-03T23:15:16.394-05:002017-03-03T23:15:16.394-05:00It was absolutely WONDERFUL!It was absolutely WONDERFUL!jickyroneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15041025456141594437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1658202452707400073.post-47886839010621586012017-03-03T22:05:57.903-05:002017-03-03T22:05:57.903-05:00Best thing I have seen in the theater in years.

Fantastic, amazing, unforgettable -- as precision, technique, effort and especially rhytm, that fascinating rhytm/pace which makes you wish the show never ends!

I'm amazed at the intricacies of the drumming and how the wonderful group -- each member with his own distinct personality -- remember each "song." This isn't just randomly banging some sticks on a variety of drums. The care, study, knowledge, expertise, art, soul, and sometimes playfulness are impressive and humbling.
