Phantom Projects Theatre Group invites on to Bataré, an all-new live show introducing audiences to a world of modernized Taiko drumming. Bataré will perform at the La Mirada Theatre on February 24th, 2018 at 8:00 pm.
Eleven performers including an orchestral string section consisting of award-winning Berklee College of Music Cellist, Xiangming Luo, and accomplished Carnegie Mellon University graduate Isabella Weiss, bring a fresh approach to musical theatre while accomplishing extraordinary physical feats and demonstrating extreme technical command over drums that tower above the audience. Similar to the genre-breaking productions Cirque du Soleil and Blue Man Group, Bataré bolsters a kinetic and breath-taking live show. Characters discover a new world where they leave their indelible mark on it forever.
“Bataré is a must-see show for a new century,” Nick Wylie, Executive Producer of Bataré. “This is a never-before-seen blend of adrenaline, drumming, elegant choreography, captivating storytelling, and an orchestral approach to rock ‘n’ roll, live on stage.” Bataré’s creative team of composers and prodigious melodists have attracted a cast of top-flight international talent to deliver an extraordinary performance.
The cast includes a diverse mix of Taiko drummers and percussion masters; alumni from Berklee College of Music in Boston and Musician’s Institute in Los Angeles, an accomplished Japanese born composer and performer noted for her work in multiple award-winning percussion shows, including TAP DOGS, a music therapist from Los Angeles, CA and a professional percussionist originally from Guam. All come together on stage for a show that goes the extra mile.
