Stomp, the innovative dance, street theatre and music performance company, which has been touring the world since 1992, creates music through smashing, crashing and bashing an unlikely assortment of everyday objects including matchboxes, brooms, garbage cans and Zippo lighters.
The revamped show with new music, choreography and ‘instruments’ including massive recycled inner tubes which performers wear and play simultaneously, is more riveting than ever, said Sands China in a press release.
STOMP, which will perform in the city until October 9, has brought over 20,000 performances to more than 12 million people in 53 countries across six continents.
