TaikOz and sister-ensemble, Synergy Percussion join forces for a concert event which will shake the foundations of the city with one powerful beating heart.
The all-new music will be set against a cinematic backdrop as emerging local filmmakers represent how love and other emotions can smash through urban barriers.
pulse:heart:beat is a high-energy, epic-scale musical happening. The kaleidoscopic sights and sounds of over 20 artists and dozens of instruments of all shapes and sizes will spill over the stage. You will find it impossible to stay seated as the infectious rhythms and whimsical melodies of this giant beat machine build to a celebratory climax.
A visual and musical feast, this show will feature more than 20 taiko drums and percussion instruments including the traditional Japanese bamboo flutes, bells, gongs and cymbals.
Our 2012 production of Shifting Sand was a highlight of last year's Glen St Theatre season. We return to the theatre on 13 - 18 August to present a spectacular new show Taikodeck - a collaboration with prominent Melbourne DJ and producer Max Royce-Hampton.
Presiding over the stage is one of the most impressive taiko drums, the Odaiko Grand Drum, a percussion beast that weighs 250kg.
TaikoDeck is a collaboration between TaikOz member Tom Royce-Hampton and brother Max Royce-Hampton. They share a vision of fusing East and West styles to result in a performance not just for the ears and eyes, but felt throughout the entire body.
