Lost and Found Orchestra

From the creators of Stomp Featuring a 50-strong orchestra of actors, dancers, musicians, singers and classically-trained instrumentalists, all playing found and invented instruments. Celebrating the ingenious concept of creating new instruments from found objects, Lost and Found Orchestra are part of a long tradition that ranges from the Vienna Vegetable Orchestra, who play celeriac bongos and carrot recorders; and The Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band, who created instruments from scratch (including the Mazda Marimba, made of lightbulbs). With violins replaced by saws, a timpani section of soup cauldrons and traffic cones becoming trombones, Lost and Found Orchestra provides an emphatic answer to the question, if Stomp were just the rhythm section, what on earth would the whole orchestra sound like? Throw in swinging aerial artists banging six-foot long rubber tubes, flying filing cabinets, performing shopping trolleys, musical vacuum cleaners and a brass bed bass and you have the makings of an unmissable Christmas show for audiences of all ages.
