special effects, Jigu's spectacular movement and drumming is designed to enhance
the eyes, entrance the ears and engage the spirit."

became a very important part of the performance that one will not soon forget!"
- Berlingske Times (Denmark)

“The thunder dragon roared in the Cultural Grand Theatre on Monday night… for
most of this exciting show, there was a strong feeling that something very special
was happening on stage!”
