It's not hard to understand why we all appreciate rhythmical music with a strong percussive element. After all, we were born with a drumbeat in our chest that plays nonstop every day of our lives and when it stops, we do. That's one way to get your attention.
The question is whether almost two uninterrupted hours of watching people bang, strum, squeeze, toss, shove and yes, stomp various ordinary household and industrial objects amounts to theatrical satisfaction. Clearly, there are plenty of Stomp addicts out there and for them, this show is catnip accented with a microscopic dose of meth.
This performance answers several burning questions, such as how you can generate an ensemble musical piece out of plastic bags of various sizes. Or what you can do with hard-sided rolling luggage when you're not travelling. Or how you can use empty metal barrels as DIY stilts. The same is true for the comedy relief , which is mostly handled by a tall guy with wispy hair. He presents as a put-upon schlemiel and his shtick is cute early, but Charlie Chaplin he ain't and it gets tired after the 10th time he poses coyly with a section of drainpipe.
