Drum of the Waves of Horikawa

“A wildly inventive treat… [an] aural and visual circus… it’s amazing what sick, outrageous connections O’Harra and Co. inspire.” – TimeOut New York

“Equal parts Sid Vicious and Akira Kurosawa, Drum of the Waves of Horikawa is a brilliant mashup of two seemingly disparate art forms — traditional Japanese kabuki theatre and ’70s punk rock. The wildly imaginative downtown group Theatre of a Two-Headed Calf has woven the common threads of violent energy, extreme posturing, and destructive attitude into its production of a Japanese play that dates from 1705. Featuring a live band, adultery, revenge, full-frontal nudity, murder, and inventive punk-samurai costumes and makeup, the show is one of the most original and entertaining Off-Off-Broadway productions of the year.” – Flavorpill

“Drum of the Waves of Horikawa incorporates a kinetic punk rock score that swings and sizzles… Executed with inventive, rigorous precision by an indefatigable ensemble in a 12’ playing space, [it] is at turns lively, startling, funny … The cast is uniformly excellent, throwing themselves completely into O’Harra’s elaborately choreographed staging with a physicality that, for all its precision, still exudes an exhilarating air of recklessness.” – The Gothamist

“Wild and energetic… this new production from the Theatre of the Two-Headed Calf blends traditional Kabuki with ’70s punk rock to create an experience that is entertaining and unforgettable.” – Washington Square News
