“Shiver” Outdoor Cinema Screening & Talk Show
“Shiver” Outdoor Cinema Screening & Talk Show
Film director Toshiaki Toyoda is a wizard: he took a catalog of music by bold contemporary musician Koshiro Hino and turned it into a spellbinding cinematic work, filmed entirely on Sado Island. The film features the Kodo ensemble, in a starring role for the first time, conjuring a rousing world of sound and imagery. We are excited to screen “Shiver” outdoors at EC 2022, coupled with a talk show with Toyoda, Hino, and Kodo, and a live performance by Kodo’s Kenta Nakagome and Yuta Sumiyoshi.
Immerse yourself in the world of “Shiver” in the perfect setting—on a summer’s night, under the stars by the sea, here on Sado Island.

Kodo
Exploring the limitless possibilities of the traditional Japanese drum, the taiko, Kodo is forging new directions for a vibrant living art-form. Since the group’s debut at Berliner Festspiele in 1981, Kodo has given over 6,500 performances in 53 countries on five continents. Many of these performances were held under the “One Earth” banner, a theme that embodies Kodo’s desire to transcend language and cultural boundaries, all while reminding their audiences of the common bonds we all share as human beings. The ensemble also participates in a wide range of projects and events, which includes headlining major international festivals, contributing to motion picture soundtracks, and collaborating with artists and composers from myriad genres. Kodo’s willingness to challenge preconceptions of music continues to produce startling new fusion and forms. The group’s creative activities, mission, and lifestyle based on Sado Island constantly garner attention from the global arts world and inspire artists in diverse fields.
