This theatrical performance features percussionists creating different rhythms using all sorts of everyday objects. This makes for extraordinary choreography involving balls, rackets, garbage cans, and other unexpected items.
The Rhythmobile – a super-powered, all-terrain, hybrid vehicle – has unfortunately run out of gas. Captain Kit Crash, the Rhythmobile's clumsy driver, and his tinkering mechanic, Whiplash, have had to swerve off to the side of the road in a panic. To make things even more complicated, the technologically sophisticated 4X4 can't start without the right kind of high rhythm-rated fuel. Time is running out. Before falling too far behind in the rally race, our two adventurers immediately begin searching for their precious fuel: rhythm.
Presented in association with Jeunesses Musicales Canada. Performances in English at 11 am and 1:30 pm. Performance in French at 3 pm. Arrive 40 minutes before the performance to enjoy some pre-concert music and an Instrument Zoo by Ottawa Suzuki Strings at the NAC's Canal Lobby Stage.
