Stomp

What an amazing show! Just saw it in London this weekend and became a fan of this group. It is a small group of people (only 7) on stage making sounds and music with very ordinary elements: bins, broom, paper, their body, balls, etc. The rhythm, choreography and acting are very well done and it's with humour.

What most attracts me in this show is the synchronized rhythm among the group, which reminds me of what I like in Delicatessen by Jean Pierre Janet and West Side Story. Objects and simple objects making amazing sounds.
