Taikoz – Catharsis

Experience the Power of CATHARSIS – Taikoz’s electrifying new work.

Renowned for redefining contemporary taiko drumming, Taikoz returns with CATHARSIS – an explosive celebration of rhythm, movement, and emotion that showcases the ensemble at their exhilarating best.

Featuring the heart-pounding compositions of Taikoz Artistic Director Ian Cleworth and the ethereal electronic soundscapes of Danish artist Xuri, CATHARSIS fuses tradition and innovation in a breathtaking display of artistry.

Expect everything that makes Taikoz unforgettable – spectacular taiko drumming, dynamic physicality, hypnotic rhythms, and dramatic shifts of feeling.

From the delicate rat-a-tat of a woodblock to the thunderous roar of the Odaiko Grand Drum, four virtuoso Taikoz performers take audiences on a sonic and emotional journey like no other. Layered with Xuri’s evocative electronic
textures, CATHARSIS expands the boundaries of taiko – merging ancient power with modern sound.
