Represented by EBI Enterprises, Matsuri (Japanese for ‘Festival’) is an action-packed, non-verbal production that showcases extreme athleticism through a series of unique variety acts. The 70-minute high-energy show features a cast of 18 Japanese athletes and entertainers, performing stunts ranging from the “Human Jump Rope” and “Judo Tango” to the “Lion Dance” and “Foot Drums.” Under the direction of Executive Producer and Director Ushio Higuchi, each act incorporates music, strength, acrobatics, beauty and Japanese culture. Higuchi comes from a television background having created the hit Japanese television program, “Kinniku-banzuke” and “SUSUKE” (known in the states as “Ninja Warrior”). Higuchi was inspired by the athletic talent and enthusiasm on that show and went on to develop the musical stage production that now performs 142 sold-out performances in Japan every year.
“Audiences leave the theater shaking their heads in disbelief at the amazing skills and stamina of these performers, or grinning from ear-to-ear because of their contagious energy,” said Megan Belk, President of EBI Enterprises.
“We are hoping to really make a name for ourselves not only in Japan and Las Vegas, but worldwide,” said Higuchi. “We feel this is a perfect platform to introduce our show to a global audience and we’re thrilled to continue our partnership with Imperial Palace.”
