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.

SLAVIC PRELUDE
Slavic Prelude
Is a musical performance inspired by the Slavic culture.
Screenplay of Prelude is based on Slavic holiday calendar with its traditional customs closely associated with 4 seasons of the year.
Authors of the show - Agnieszka Glińska and Marek „Smok” Rajss, CEO of Wataha Drums, use multiple forms of expression such as music, rhythm, dance, traditional Slavic songs and body-painting to create modern and at the same time autochtonic interpretation of the ancient Slavic world with its beliefs and rituals based on the rhythm of the nature.
Dynamic & energetic ethnic songs along with stunning dance and impressive, original stylizations take viewers to a forgotten world of natural, earthy emotions so distant to modern society.
Show, performed by Art Color Ballet, Wataha Drums and vocal group Strojone, brings fascinating and spellbinding world of Slavic ceremonies closer to the viewers and enchants them with its magical, pagan atmosphere.
Time: 80 min.
