A Japanese expletive used in reaction to something surprising or outlandish is the name of this performance group who dazzles audiences with their mix of juggling, acrobatics, dance, combat, and comedy. Nanda fills the house with unrelenting skill and humor woven into a sonic soundscape. Their spectacles tear through any preconceptions of entertainment and the world. The organic, narrative performances offered by these four friends (including two brothers) have been evolving slowly over the last twenty years, since the young gentlemen met as toddlers in their hometown of Port Townsend, Washington. Those four feral little hippy kids have grown into four enlightened ninja jugglers.

"Nanda, a four-man troupe that does juggling, stick-fighting, acrobatics and more, is a knockout, pulling off moves with airborne objects that are half-dance, half-wizardry. They're funny, smooth and daredevilishly inventive."
