A run of skits reveal humorous recommendations to eliminate food waste. There’s an ongoing riff with a vintage, tabletop radio and a “On Air” DJ booth in the back, where Condors producer and co-founder Yasuharu Katsuyama keeps up a lively commentary after reading aloud the audience-provided poetry between sets. 

The various sketches are constantly interwoven with Condors-style dance ensembles—a rowdy mix of street dancing, flips and handstands, freestyle leaps and turns. Kondo usually takes center stage for the dance, but a few sets also showcase the powerful athleticism of the younger dancers. Dance and comedy sometimes collide, as when a sketch about competing politicians—who enter the audience to shake as many hands as possible—is turned into a surprisingly graceful ballroom dance-off in drag, once the dancers return to the stage for a humorous quick-change of costume.

Condors productions traditionally take the name of iconic rock songs—“Cigarettes and Alcohol” to honor Oasis, and their next performance will be “I Want to Hold Your Hand” after the famous Beatles’ hit. It’s all part of their nostalgic appeal and schoolboy humor. Whatever it is, it works. Despite most of the performers obviously entering their 50th decade, the stage still hummed with teenage spirit. In their thirty years, Condors have performed in over 30 countries. Don’t miss them if they fly nearby.
