Bathhouse Drummer
Director Liu Kaiqi
The Japanese drummer Shota came to Beijing with his team for a performance. He strayed into a century-old bathhouse as his inspiration ran dry. In the bathing pool, the dispirited Shota was attracted by the rhythm of a back massage by the bathhouse owner Wang Fushun. The inspiring rhythm resonated with Shota. Shota came up with an idea for his new show at the old bathhouse and became friends with Wang Fushun, who was nearly 80 years old. Shota finally delivered a fabulous and unique percussion music show with basin, brush, and voice.
