On January 18, The Chatham Capitol Theatre is proud to present YAMATO: The Drummers of Japan performing their new show titled, Hito no Chikara – The Power of Human Strength. The Taiko troupe has reached nearly 8 million people globally in over 4,000 performances throughout their thirty-two-year history.
In every program, the drummers play 35-40 different Japanese drums. “YAMATO believes that the drumbeat, like the heartbeat, is the very pulse of life and the epitome of the Japanese spirit,” says the troupe’s Founder and Artistic Director Masa Ogawa. The physically powerful cohort of musician-athletes work and live together as a community in the Asuka Village.
This season’s new program entitled Hito no Chikara – The Power of Human strength examines humanity’s ever-evolving relationship with technology and artificial intelligence.
