Two-Headed Calf: Drum of the Waves of Horikawa
An unlikely band of avengers
in Drum of the Waves of Horikawa
UPDATE: To correct the closing date for the show (17 November, not 17 October).
I have too much affection for the members and work of the Theater of a
Two-Headed Calf to be able to offer any Olympian objectivity about
their new show, Drum of the Waves of Horikawa. The low-comic,
high-camp epic, which brings together kabuki, Preston Sturges and punk
rock, is based on a samurai revenge drama by Chikamatsu, and the company
is in full everything-
Performances at HERE run through 17 November; there will be post-show discussions on selected evenings through the run, and on Sunday, 4 November, at 6:00 p.m., a guest panel will discuss the role of music in both Kabuki performance and Western theatre. Tickets and schedule information here.
