The following description was submitted by the event organizer.

For the better part of the last two years, enTaiko and CymaSpace have been working together to make taiko performance accessible and inclusive to the Deaf and Hard of Hearing (DHH) community. This high energy,  ground shaking concert features new compositions sung in American Sign Language with music played on taiko drums. The Japanese taiko is one of the few instruments which provide analog haptics. Haptics are instruments used to create musical vibrations for members of the DHH community to experience music more deeply. Combined with sound responsive LED panels programmed and built by CymaSpace; this is a show to WOW both deaf and hearing audiences.
