Klop Klop Boem Boem

Klop Klop Boem Boem is a rhythmic dance concert for the whole family — an ode to the heartbeat. Three performers dance, drum, and sing whatever their hearts tell them. You don’t just hear the rhythm, you see it ripple through every part of the body.

Knock knock, who’s there? Boem boem, what do I hear? Something is pounding beneath my chest. My clock, my rhythm. My heartbeat. It’s always there, keeping me in motion. I clench my hand into a fist and bounce it on the table. I stomp my feet — left, right, pa-pa-pa-and-BOOM. And again, but now with someone else. Your turn — what does your rhythm sound like? Ratatatata-tsssss. Nice! And now all together. This is starting to feel like a party...

Klop Klop Boem Boem is a journey that begins playfully and grows louder and deeper, until it echoes our most heartfelt desires.
