We just saw this at HERE, and while I have had issues with Theater of the Two-Headed Calf in the past, this was really kickass--a heartfelt spectacle that really works, a fusion of punk and kabuki that rocks out loud. Highly recommended.

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, the show reinterprets this 18th Century classic that teems with lying, cheating, drinking and assassination.
