BERKLEY - Kodo, Drummers. World Stage Performance Feb. 3 - 4, 2011.

"Kodo" can mean either "heartbeat" or "children of the drum," in Japanes. Versatile performers play a variety of instruments - some huge, some extraordinarily delicate-it is their awesome drums (the massive o-daiko weighs 900 pounds!) Perfectly in unison, they wield their sticks like expert swordsmen, evoking thrilling images of ancient and modern Japan. Witnessing a performance by Kodo calls up something primal-like plugging in to the pulse of the universe itself. Time: 8 p.m. 2 - up. Address: UC Berkeley, Zellerbach Hall, Berkeley, CA. (510) 642-9988. calperformances
