Les Commandos Percu

B.P.M. Bombs Per Minute – Tres Méchant(s)

Urban Percussion + Fireworks Show / Cultura Nova Festival Closure

The French theatre company Les Commandos Percu are known for their spectacular percussion concerts and accompanying special effects. They are the colour of the earth and have the power of a volcano! They have the capacity to invoke collective emotions in an artistic manner. Their B.P.M. Bombs Per Minute show (Tres Méchants) will close the 21st edition of the Cultura Nova festival in an particularly energetic way.

Armed with their percussion instruments, they will play their own rhythmic compositions and create their own urban folklore. They believe themselves to have come from nowhere, but coming, as it were, from everywhere, close to the myth of the African Speaking Drum. Their performances are wordless. Only the drums have voices. The performance is about the power of the precise moment of creative creation. They are highlights, expressively shown with the use of percussion, fire and fireworks. Les Commandos Percu are enthusiastically received by all audiences, thanks to their imagery and creativity.

Gil Pressnitzer, publicist, programmer and cultural entrepreneur wrote: “Les Commandos Percu remind us that we live on a ball of fire and that there is no greater magic than this fusion with the circle of fire that removes shadows and brings people closer together. Staggering with fireworks of emotions and invoking feelings of touching the essence of humanity, Les Commandos Percu create in their vision a kind of initiation of our human condition in its terrible and rudimentary beauty.”
