Detail
A spectacle performance from Oreka TX, a musical group based in the traditional sounds of Basque, Spain. The music of the txalaparta, a traditional percussion instrument passed down from Basque, exemplifies a fine level of musicianship. But that is not all – the visual device of giant humans (actually dolls) puppeteering musician dolls (actually humans) will add a further intrigue to this performance. The accompanying charming movements of hoop dancer AYUMI will elevate the caliber of this program even more.
Artist
Oreka TX
Oreka TX is a musical group versed in the txalaparta, a traditional percussion instrument of Basque, Spain. On first glance, the txalaparta looks like a simple wooden or stone plank, but when two percussionists play together in dialogue, they give birth to complex rhythms and melodies. The group’s documentary film Nomadak Tx has received awards at 14 different international film festivals. They came to perform in Japan in 2000 and 2013, and they produced the music for Momoko Hirayama’s Hybrid-Rhythm & Dance at the New National Theatre, Tokyo, in 2016.
