Osaka Dadada - Dan Tenko


 

 

 

'The play is so volatile that the sticks appear to be made of a flexible material. But that is an illusion. They are made of a wood as hard as rock. Their impressive play is entertaining and amusing." (Leidsch Dagblad)

'The opening number by Dadada-Dan Tenko forms a statement of principles. The ten-strong ensemble really let rip with their bright-coloured plastic tubes. Because these tubes varied in length, it was possible to divide a melody ingeniously among the percussionists. In one tableau the group demonstrated how inventive they are and how they distance themselves from folklore." (Leeuwarder Courant)

'This was a performance that excelled in variation, with quiet moments and even a few successful comic numbers." "This group distinguished itself from the others by the way in which the performance was tailored to theatre. This lay in the dances by Isaya Mondori. The musicians made exceptional use of the entire stage." (Eindhovens Dagblad)
