Events Description
Let your soul dance to the rhythm of life at the National Arts Centre.
In Japanese, the word “Kodo” holds a double meaning. It can be translated as “heartbeat,” the primal source of all rhythm. However, our group’s name is written with different characters, which mean “drum” and “child.” This reflects Kodo’s desire to play the drums with the simple heart of a child. For our 40th anniversary in 2021, we created two works based on our name: Tsuzumi takes its name and theme from the drum character, and “Warabe” from the child element. Tsuzumi was our touring production in 2023 across North America, and we are happy to present you now with the continuing production, Warabe.
In Warabe, Kodo looks to its classic repertoire and aesthetics from the ensemble’s early days. This production blends simple forms of taiko expression that celebrate the unique sound, resonance, and physicality synonymous with Kodo—forever children of the drum at heart.
Come and experience the soul-stirring rhythm of life firsthand.
