With Mu:Arts, who brings Noh Reimagined to Protected content every two years, King’s Cross venue Protected content are proud to present the UK debut performance of Takuya Taniguchi, a true master of the Taiko (a broad range of Japanese percussion instruments). Acclaimed photographer JUMPEITAINAKA will join Takuya to bring the performance to life with his stunning visual artistry.
In his electrifying taiko performance, Takuya Taniguchi draws inspiration from the profound concept of a-hūṃ (阿吽), symbolising the “great breath” of the universe. Taniguchi masterfully intertwines his original compositions with works by his mentor, Eitetsu Hayashi, forging a powerful musical landscape. The resonating force of the taiko, with its primal, heartbeat-like rhythms, stirs the soul and awakens deep, visceral emotions.
Acclaimed international photographer JUMPEITAINAKA joins Takuya to bring the performance to life with his stunning visual artistry. Tainaka’s evocative photographs dive into the inner world of human emotion, transforming the abstract landscapes of the mind into vivid visual stories that amplify the raw, intense energy of the performance
Join Takuya for his highly anticipated UK debut at Protected content , where he will immerse you in a profound sonic journey that stirs deep emotions and awe, resonating with the soul and earth of his birthplace, Fukui.
