Why You Should Watch Mangekyo
Why You Should Watch Mangekyo
Mangekyo pulls out all the stops in its spellbinding Wadaiko presentation that also involves dancing and acrobatics. With no central storyline, the show relies solely on incredible stunts and music to keep its audience enthralled. Mangekyo is divided into multiple short performances with varied themes that blend seamlessly into each other. From performers balancing on huge drums as they play them to more traditional koto and shamisen presentations, Mangekyo manages to keep audiences glued to their seats right until the very last act.
Drum Tao has been an extremely successful group that is known for its electrifying performances across the globe. Established in 1993 in Aichi prefecture, Japan, the group was formed with the goal of entertaining audiences with original costumes, set designs, music, and costumes. In their shows, the performers frequently display their mastery of both music and acrobatics. With fashion designer Junko Koshiono designing top-notch costumes since 2012, Drum Tao has been one of the most revolutionary bands to emerge from Japan!
