Drum of the Waves of Horikawa

Loud, violent, transgressive, and fueled by radical politics: both Kabuki and 1970s punk rock represented unforgiving performance movements that captured the stories of social discord. Combining live music performed by two drummers, a keyboardist and a bass player with traditional elements of Japanese performance, this performance reinterprets the 18th century classic that teems with lying, cheating, drinking, and assassination.
