“A hundred self-playing drums make hearts race during SUPERDRUM.” - de Volkskrant (NL)
The drum is a primal instrument. For thousands of years, people have used rhythm to communicate: across long distances, with their surroundings, and with spiritual worlds.
With SUPERDRUM X, boundary-pushing Dutch collective Touki Delphine taps into this primal force. Making its world premiere at PS21 as part of Commonground Festival, SUPERDRUM X repurposes more than one hundred drums, sourced from the local community via a myriad of second-hand ways, creating one giant interconnected self-playing machine.
