Description was written before the event

Body Rhythm Factory is a duo featuring Peter Stavrum and Rune Thorsteinsson, blending music, body percussion, and theatrical humor in a show where the audience actively participates.

They move between the virtuosic and the playful: resonant passages meet physical percussion, improvisation, and comic moments that keep the show in constant motion.

With over 700 concerts worldwide behind them, they received a YAMA Award in 2013 for the world's best concert production for children and young people at a ceremony in Brussels.

About: Peter Stavrum

A Royal Music Academy graduate turned global STOMP performer, Peter Stavrum Nielsen has made body percussion his signature - using his whole body as an instrument, humour as fuel, and the audience as a co-performer. His group Body Rhythm Factory counts over 700 shows and a YAMA Award among its achievements.
