Bum Taka Tum!

Bum Taka Tum! is a percussive, participatory and multidisciplinary juggling solo built around the question “What sound does it make?
The show takes the audience on a journey to a rubbish dump, where the artist transforms various objects into musical instruments.
Each object is diverted from its original function and loses its original meaning through juggling.
It’s a musical experience in which juggling creates rhythm, which in turn creates juggling.
This performance takes place in a burlesque atmosphere, in which the ridiculous combines with the astounding, the stupid with the brilliant, and failure with success.
