STOMP has been running in London for 11 years at the Ambassadors Theatre in West Street.
We went to watch the show tonight.
What amazing talent, rhythm and energy these 8 performers have.
There are no words during the entire 100 minutes but somehow they managed to entertain us with their different beats using unusual object - they used zippo lighters, tubes, brooms, sticks, zincs, trolleys, water bottles, buckets, pipes, hubcaps, newspapers, basketballs, tins, cigarette packets, plastic bags to name a few. Amazing co-ordination and sounds! Who would have thought that you can make so many different sounds with everyday objects.
There even comedy. There is one odd, awkward new comer who always does things in a funny way - quite funny!
They even try to get the audience to clap tunes.
The theatre is small and cosy, probably around 200-300 seats - stalls and gallery.
Strangely, before the show started they played 3 South African songs, maybe a coincidence.
A great show, very entertaining!
