The performance repertoire is based on the live spiral

Taiko is a traditional Japanese drum with unlimited rhythmic possibilities. It is Gutong’s job to explore these possibilities and, in the process, create new directions for a dynamic live art form. In Japanese, the word "drum boy" has a double meaning. It can be translated as "heartbeat", which is the original source of all rhythm.

Indeed, the sound of the taiko drum is believed to be the mother's heartbeat felt by the baby in the womb, and the baby often falls asleep to the thunderous drumming. However, in different contexts, Gutong can also refer to "drum children," which reflects the group's desire to play drums with the hearts of simple children.

Director Tamasaburo Bando is a world-renowned top kabuki actor and the most popular and acclaimed onnagata performer on the stage today.

He has demonstrated his profound aesthetics on numerous art platforms, and many of his artworks have received high praise.

His productions such as "Romeo and Juliet" and "Cajun Beso" have been widely praised. He also directed the film works "Surgery", "Dream Girl", and "The Story of the Tenshu" They all also shined in the field of art and caused a sensation. From 2012 to 2016, Bando served as the artistic director of Gutong. In September 2012, Bando was recognized as an important intangible cultural property ("Living National Treasure"). In 2013, he was awarded the "Order of the Order of Commander", the highest honor of the French Order of Arts and Letters.
