Great Family Event
Athletic bodies and contemporary costumes meet explosive Taiko drumming and electrifying choreography in a remarkable display of precision, energy, and stamina. TAO delivers a young and vibrantly modern take on the venerable art of Japanese drumming—integrating gymnastics, rock music, expressive vocals, and an array of percussion from around the world. Though their art form is traditionally dominated by men, TAO creates a unique allure with both male and female performers, all of whom have undergone years of rigorous training to reach the highest level of virtuosity.
