Kodo at the Philharmonic Hall

The Philharmonic Hall, Hope Street
Wednesday 19th February 2014

Kodo are back in Liverpool, by popular demand, with a brand new show, never been seen before on Wednesday 19th February 2014 at 7.30pm. They are famous for spectacular, athletic stage shows (which inspired Stomp and Cirque du Soleil) and a dedication to preserving all traditional Japanese culture.

Kodo have performed on all five continents, from the Nobel Peace Prize to the Football World Cup!

New Artistic Director, Japanese icon and kabuki specialist Tamasaburo Bando, has instigated a bold new direction for Kodo, (more theatre, costume, dance and Western musical styles than before, also encouraging a younger generation).

There’s an almost monastic-like approach to their training (think Kill Bill!) – apprentices train for 2 years before even being considered to join the Kodo performing arts ensemble.
