Ideas, Not Theories is a theatrical percussion show featuring original music that explores the use of unconventional instruments such as bicycles, tap and body percussion, water, brushes, as well as traditional percussion instruments such as drums. The musical works are linked together through a storyline, physical theatre and comedy, and original characters make the complete performance a unique, quirky and creative artistic experience.
