Pulse of the Past

Pulse of the past is a playful, energetic and lighthearted duet combining percussion, acrobatics and dance, while also including audience interaction and participation.

The show works with the idea of the traditional gathering (which can take many forms), taking inspiration from Bulgarian and Swedish folklore. It aims to create a meeting of cultures, a showcase of communication between different groups and the warm feeling of us all being together to share something bigger than simply ourselves.

Pulse of the Past is available as a 15 minute and 30 minute version.
