Pan Pa' Tim
Primate Theatrical Percussion (Venezuela)
In the chaos of a great city, Tim, a percussionist, tries to earn 'his daily bread' as an office worker as his art does not pay his bills. But his musical instinct always betrays him.
Everything he touches turns to music: dishwasher, water bottles, tables, typewriter and the bodies of the other six performers - key board player, percussionists, singers, dancers and jugglers
This Afro-Caribbean spectacular is 'like a Latin American Stomp the whole family will enjoy' (El Universal)
