Batacuda

Melborne, Australia 

BATACUDA are a group of gad about percussionists creating foot tapping, hip swivelling rhythms. A high energy cross cultural medley of percussion, circus skills and mayhem.

A vibrant and colourful five person troupe, play rhythms from around the globe even Rock 'n' Roll.

BATACUDA are totally mobile, making them free to rove amongst the audience, encouraging participation along the way.

BATACUDA arrive in full flight, playing, jiving & drawing instant crowds. They will use anything as instruments: bicycles (their owners helmets), rubbish bins, prams, trucks, coffee cups and sculptures - whatever that makes a sound. Then there are circus tricks - the pram balance, shoe juggling, umbrella manipulation just to name a few!

A spectacular show, performed either as a circle or stage, includes musical gymnastics, comedy, drumming solos, physical contortion & fire juggling, all involving the audience on mass.
