La Banda del Surdo. DLR Festival of World Cultures

Performance

Crazy drums’ street performances in Dún Laoghaire!

La Banda del Surdo presents Percussionante! a street show which uses percussion and rhythm as its principal focus. A numerous formation of percussionists with a repertory of rhythms from around the world (Latin, Brazilian, Flamenco, African, Hip-Hop, Oriental,...), accompanied by the dancing of stilt walkers, appears in the middle of crowds to reclaim the streets and give us direct contact. La Banda del Surdo creates a party out of percussion music which you dance to with your ears, listen to with your eyes and absorb with your feet. Percussionists and dancers take to the street with a show that is loaded with energy and colour. Music permeates from body to body, rhythms from all around the world, passion, movement, good times… and loads of heat!

La Banda del Surdo has participated with great success in the principal festivals of music and street theatre in Catalonia and Spain, and it has international experience with performances all over Europe. It is also frequently collaborating in productions with other companies, among which Cirque du Soleil, Comediants and Studio Festi are of renown. This is their first time performing in Ireland. Don’t miss their street performances during the dlr Festival of World Cultures in Dún Laoghaire!
