About the Show

In May 2026, the thunder returns.

After electrifying London audiences in 2019 and again in 2024 with Wings of the Phoenix, YAMATO now unveil their brand-new production: Hito no Chikara – The Power of Human Strength.

This extraordinary work confronts a world transformed by technology and asks: what remains uniquely human? With every strike of the taiko, the performers channel resilience, passion, and the shared heartbeat that binds us all.

The stage will shake with explosive drumming, breathtaking choreography, and the unshakable spirit of YAMATO’s players. At times ferocious, at times delicate, their sound is more than music — it is physical energy, raw and alive.

Hito no Chikara is not simply a performance. It is an invitation to feel the pulse of humanity, to be lifted by its power, and to celebrate the strength we all carry within.
