STOMP: Music beyond words
-The legendary music group will perform in Rome next november. Prepare your broomsticks, trash bins and plastic tubes because Stomp will show you a different way to see (and listen to) the world.
Stomp has no words, everyone can understand it. It has little or no melody in the traditional sense, so it doesn’t matter it your taste in music is jazz, classical, dance or pop. Stomp is about rhythm, which is common to all cultures.
Stomp was born in England in 1991 by two very creative personalities Luke Cresswell and Steve McNicholas, indeed “creativity” is the keyword for the associates of this group of people who work together using simple building blocks, trash bins, brooms, or anything else that can produce music through noise.
The drive of Stomp to use common daily objects can compare them to the Trash movement which convert garbage and waste materials in art. Their show includes elements of Pop Art, Futurism, mute cinema, cartoons and circus. Even more, African tribal rhythms, hip hop, break dance, tip tap, heavy metal and moves from the Japanese martial art kendo. A mix of artistic calls that transform the show into a variety of sound and fantasy. Leaving the theatre you will feel the need to look around, the street or your house, for objects that your imagination can turn into music. This way you can feel that you make part of “Stomp”!
After their last successful Italian tour in 2009, the group will return in Rome for a new revolutionary and enthusiastic show presented at Teatro Olimpico di Roma – Piazza Gentile da Fabriano, from 9th to 17th of November.
For more info you can visit the official site of Teatro Olimpico: www.teatroolimpico.it. The venue, as the most important cultural spots in the city can be asily reached from Yes Hotel and Hotel Des Artistes.
