Conquest of the Galaxy :Mars

"INVASION ALERT: Condors is Landing in KL – Fasten Your Seatbelts!"







That's the promo tagline to highlight the return of the Condors yet again right here in KL next week. But that's not the promo picture that I got from their red color flier. I google for that picture above. Hehe.

You may be asking, "Condors...what?"
Check this out:

"The sensational 11-member, all-male Japanese dance troupe Condors is returning to KL after performing to packed halls here eight years ago!

The Japan Foundation, Kuala Lumpur, and The Kuala Lumpur Performing Arts Centre (klpac), in cooperation with Embassy of Japan are proud to present Conquest of the Galaxy: Mars from 19 March to 21 March. This three-day only performance is part of their tour, which is supported by the Agency of Cultural Affairs.

Condors has conquered their homeland and turned the Japanese contemporary dance scene on its head. In fact, tickets for one of their performances in Tokyo were snapped up the very day it went on sale! And it doesn’t stop there – Condors Mania has spread all over the world and the troupe often performed to sell out shows overseas as well.

Wherever they go, their performance always sends audiences spinning through amazement, shock, and laughter. From their trademark Japanese high-school uniform outfits to their liberal use of shtick and overblown video imagery, this company redefines what a dance performance can and should be. The troupe is also well-known for its satirical treatment of Japanese pop culture.

Still dazed?? Check out About Condors right at their official site.

I'm still a newbie myself to their performance concept but simply imagine the group from Stomp making their performance but this time with a zest of the Oriential Japanese style with more whacky, upbeat performance for sure to uproar the audience in a delightful frenzy. Let's join them next week at KLPac. You won't be left disappointed. That's a sure thing!
