Description

Pulsating with theatrical magic, The Piece with the Drums is a joyous, driving dance narrative between dancer and percussion.

We vibe, we vibrate, hearts pumping, rhythm jumping,

Drumming up the earth’s vibrations,

Infusing our heartbeat, our breath...

Directed and choreographed by David Bolger, with music, beats and everything in between by pioneering jazz percussionist Conor Guilfoyle, it’s a colourful exploration of relationships, spirituality, and our connection to rhythm, life and the cosmos.

Post show discussion: Fri 18 Oct

Audio description has been made possible for the performance on Saturday 19 Oct thanks to the generous support of The Foyle Foundation.
