As when the fireworks of La Mercè rumble in our chest, percussion has something that goes beyond the sound. The pulse, the adrenaline, the hypnotic feeling of seeing the drumsticks on the drums… And ‘The Colorbeat Drums’ in Barcelona proves it. A live percussion show that takes place at the Poliorama Theater, in the Raval, and in which light and color follow the rhythm of some of the best soundtracks. Music and film lovers, this is your most luminous plan (literally and metaphorically).
What is ‘The Colorbeat Drums’?
The union between rhythm, color and unforgettable soundtracks. A live percussion show in which the pulse of each melody can be heard… and seen. And all thanks to synchronized LED lights, which react to the melodies of timeless films such as the main theme of Star Trek, The Avengers or Test Drive from How to Train Your Dragon.
A way to follow the rhythm of cinema by the hand of five professional percussionists, who will transport us to the sound of Iron Man 3, Avatar or Thor: A Dark World in a narrative guided by rhythm. Sixty minutes in which we will feel like asking the person next to us “Hey, was that real?” after the battle between drums.
Why are the drums so hypnotic?
Percussion has that something that makes what we hear on the outside, we feel it on the inside. A difficult to describe sensation that we tend to put in motion when we follow with our fingers the rhythm of a song that has stuck in our minds. And the answer to why it makes us feel so good has a scientific justification: it is proven that drumming makes us release endorphins. And ‘The Colorbeat Drums’ in Barcelona is the union of two things that make us secrete more happiness hormones: rhythm and cinema.
Rhythm conquers Barcelona on selected dates with ‘The Colorbeat Drums’. And it does so from the iconic Poliorama Theater (wheelchair accessible), whose doors will open half an hour before the start of the show. Seats are assigned on a first-come, first-served basis (within the section chosen in the purchase process) and seats are limited, so we recommend you reserve yours early before they sell out. Because seeing The Avengers is fine, but being enlightened by its rhythm… is a little better.
