Equal parts Sid Vicious and Akira Kurosawa, Drum of the Waves of Horikawa is a brilliant mashup of two seemingly disparate art forms — traditional Japanese kabuki theatre and '70s punk rock. The wildly imaginative downtown group Theatre of a Two-Headed Calf has woven the common threads of violent energy, extreme posturing, and destructive attitude into its production of a Japanese play that dates from 1705. Featuring a live band, adultery, revenge, full-frontal nudity, murder, and inventive punk-samurai costumes and makeup, the show is one of the most original and entertaining Off-Off-Broadway productions of the year.
