Astonishing acrobatics combine with a 30 strong all-female choir in this jaw-dropping, pulsating performance.
The Pulse is a hugely ambitious and monumental work of scale that unites audience, acrobat and choir into a single mesmerising organism. A shimmering mass of sixty acrobats and choir members unite and divide, becoming a spectacular being of muscle, bone and voice as a mountain of bodies crumbles into an ocean of sound. It’s raw, it’s real, it sings, it sweats, it pulsates.
Towering human structures move with precision through a pulsing web of noise and light. Seemingly impossible levels of cooperation and feats of shared humanity, repeat, stretch, blossom and decay. Witness an intricate, organic synchronicity of human movement and sound — all to the beat of your own pounding pulse.
The Pulse will take place in the spectacular new Festival Theatre, at the Kingfisher at the University of Galway. Specifically built for this phenomenal production it is the biggest indoor temporary venue the Festival has ever created.
