Where rhythm speaks every language

From London and Paris to Las Vegas and New York, Stomp makes music with brooms, matchboxes, hands and feet, poles, chairs, sinks, basketballs, newspapers and more, climaxing with the exhilarating trademark bins routine, where metal trashcans become drums and dustbin lids become combat shields.

The wildly entertaining show toured South Africa in 2010 to critical acclaim and sold-out performances, and is back later this year, opening at Montecasino’s Teatro on 13 August for a fourweek season, and then moving to Cape Town’s Artscape from 11 to 22 September 2019.

Stomp is a unique combination of percussion, dance and physical comedy, finding beauty and music in the mundane. Eight brilliantly synchronised performers take the audience on a journey through

sound as they beat truck inner tubes, rubber hosing, Zippo lighters, plastic bags, metal dustbins, bin lids, tubs, water butts and, yes, even the kitchen sink! And then there are the brooms that are turned into soft shoe partners. Stomp turns brooms into instruments and handclapping into a conversation; the junk and clutter of urban life becomes the source of infectious rhythm and wonder.

Created in Brighton, UK, in the summer of 1991, Stomp was the result of a 10-year collaboration between its creators, Luke Cresswell and Steve McNicholas. The popularity of Stomp continually grew, resulting in the cast performing live at the 1996 Academy Awards (the Oscars) to an estimated audience of almost a billion people worldwide, and at the closing ceremony of the London 2012 Olympic Games.

This inventive and invigorating stage show is guaranteed to make your heart pound as the infectious rhythms, dance, music and theatrical performance blend together in one electrifying universal language.
