There
are 30 brooms, one enormous rubbish bin and 5 small ones, 10 poles, 4
bricks, 15 kilo of sand, 12 boxes of matches, 200 litre of water and,
wait for it, some bananas; all these contribute to the musical
instruments the 11 British musicians of 'Stomp' use, in a spectacle that
combines music and movements. They had performed in Barcelona in other
occasions, the last time 6 years ago. They have come back to the
Victoria Theatre.
The most probable of Stomp's success is that they had full house attendance each time, as they constantly renovate their music and choreography in each show, always something new to delight and surprise the audience. They have taken the spectacle all over the world. In fact the show they brought to Barcelona had been in the West End of London for 6 years, where they had astonished the public with amazing sounds & rhythm that came from everyday household objects.
In Barcelona this British company will offer their newest sounds and choreography, inspired by one of their other spectacles 'Stomp Out Loud' which they performed in Las Vegas.
This group was born in 1991 in Brighton, England, The philosophy of Stomp came from the street animation with music and dance practiced in many villages in the middle ages, although it had been revised with innovated touches. The producers emphasised that there are no moral messages nor political connotations, or ideological undertones. The public is already bombarded each and every day with that. Just melodies, rhythm and musical conversations (?). Apart from brooms and bricks, this season they have added truck wheels and paint pots. Do these make music too? What does the banana do? I am intrigued!!
This picture has nothing to do with the article. It just makes me wonder:
Would this be perhaps the musical conversation?
