Wataha Drums is an artistic group which creates shows and events using multiple ways of expression. To design unique atmosphere of every performance we adapt music, motion, lights and digital scenography. Wataha Drums finds inspiration for its shows in modern electronic as well as ethnic music, theater, contemporary dance and martial arts. Thanks to that our performances are energetic, innovative and always unforgettable. We take care of the costumes and stylizations to perfectly fit our original generic visualizations. Integration is one of our most important value. Not only on a stage where we try to integrate different fields of art - the aim of Wataha Drums’ performances is to encourage spectators to break stereotypes and feel united.
