On Stomp

Over the weekend, we went to the most anticipated show of Spring of Culture, (besides Fairouz obviously) and .... I tell you this was ONE HELL OF A SHOW.

We went to the first show of three.It was supposed to start at 8:30 but it took alot of time until people got settled and it finally started around 9ish. It was worth the wait.

The show starts with people cleaning the floor with broomsticks.I never, in my life, imagined that people can be quite creative with broomsticks.The sounds, the co-ordination , the comedy.Magnificent.

Then there was part with other stuff including sticks, barrels, pipes , garbage bins, garbage-bin-lids , kitchen sinks, newspapers, plastic bags .... you name it.

My favourite part was the scene when they start drumming on a wall of aluminium plates, wheel rims, bottles, etc etc.This was so creative, energetic and full of fun.

Add to that the comic relief that was contributed by a small guy from the group.He had great comedic timing.The whole group knew what they were doing and did it well.

It was a great weekend
