The Piece with the Drums

We vibe, we vibrate, hearts pumping,

rhythm jumping,

Drumming up the earth’s vibrations,

Infusing our heartbeat, our breath…

Pulsating with theatrical magic, The Piece with the Drums is a joyous, driving dance narrative between dancer and percussion. Directed and choreographed by David Bolger, with music, beats and everything in between by pioneering jazz percussionist Conor Guilfoyle, it’s a colourful exploration of relationships, spirituality, and our connection to rhythm, life and the cosmos.
