WHO WE ARE
Wataha Drums is an artistic ensemble that creates immersive performances by blending music, movement, light, and generative visuals. We specialise in harmonising sound and motion with animated backdrops, seamlessly uniting the virtual with the real.
At the heart of our work lies the fusion of varied artistic expressions. Our performances exist at the intersection of theatre, music, and dance, enriched by artistically improvised martial arts elements.
Central to our shows is the idea of integration – in both aesthetics and audience engagement. We believe art should be a space for dialogue and the sharing of experiences.
We are also committed to breaking down stereotypes and overcoming internal barriers. We see rhythm – particularly a palpable, inner pulse – as a powerful medium for communication and creative expression.
SLAVIC PRELUDE
This musical performance delves into the roots of Slavic culture. Inspired by the Slavic Calendar and the natural symbolism embodied in the four seasons, the show combines dynamic live music and traditional Slavic songs, expressed through dance and visual art. Presented by Wataha Drums, Art Color Ballet, and the vocal group Strojone, this performance invites the modern audience to rediscover the rich, magical archetypes of Slavic heritage.
FLUO
In FLUO, generative visuals merge with a fluorescent aesthetic to explore realms of symbolism and abstraction. Our dancers and musicians guide you through a world of virtual projections. With innovative choreography and an entrancing electro-infused soundtrack, this show frees your imagination and envelops you in a spellbinding illusion.
DRUM & FIGHT
Drum & Fight is a dynamic performance straddling theatre, music, and dance, driven by powerful rhythms, generative visuals, and intricately choreographed fight scenes. Here, energy is the central theme – its discovery in the world around us, its capture, and its transformative reimagining. This energy is portrayed as the creative spark of life, supported by futuristic costumes and elements drawn from digital culture in both the soundscape and visuals.
QUBE
Qube is a multimedia musical journey that confronts social and cultural barriers, as well as the inner conflicts within the human psyche. The narrative follows a determined heroine as she traverses uncharted territories, overcoming obstacles that seek to divide and close her off from the new and extraordinary. Using original visuals, energetic music played on bespoke instruments, spectacular choreography with improvised martial arts, and immersive Dolby Surround sound, Qube transforms the audience from passive observers into active participants in the story.
SERVICES
For over a decade, we have been crafting original performances, concerts, and shows that fuse music, dance, body painting, generative visuals, and AI. We offer ready-to-perform programmes, yet we can tailor our shows to meet the specific requirements of any audience. Whether our aesthetic leans towards ethno, futuristic, or is inspired by digital culture, our work always centres on vibrant, energetic music enhanced by modern sounds and percussive accents.
We regularly take part in festivals, award galas, major sporting events, urban picnics, and a variety of other gatherings.
Ever evolving, we continuously push boundaries by experimenting with multimedia on a grand scale and by incorporating state-of-the-art Dolby Surround systems. In addition, we develop performance programmes that utilise both conventional instruments and everyday objects repurposed as percussion instruments.
Our multimedia performances are immersive journeys that blend generative animations with a wide spectrum of expressive art forms – including live music, dance, body painting, and artistically choreographed martial arts. Every performance invites audiences into a shared emotional space, encouraging reflection, wonder, and a deep sense of connection that lingers long after the final note.
We create bespoke artistic experiences tailored for prestigious events such as award ceremonies, jubilees, and exclusive celebrations. Drawing from a wide range of aesthetics and performance styles at our disposal, we create immersive, high-impact moments that align with the event’s tone while infusing it with vibrant energy, emotion, and visual splendour.
Whether set in urban squares, parks, or stadiums, our live shows transform public gatherings into unforgettable artistic encounters. Fusing rhythm, movement, and striking visuals, each performance is custom-built to engage diverse audiences, energise the space, and create a sense of shared wonder through telling immersive stories with movement, light, sound and spectacle.
