PULSE: a STOMP ODYSSEY

About PULSE

a 70mm giant screen experience from the creators of STOMP

From the creators of the hit stage show, Stomp, PULSE is a breathtaking global voyage of discovery, featuring performances by flamenco dancer EVA YERBABUENA, Japanese Taiko drummers, KODO, 200 hundred carnival drummers in Brazil, and the sights and musical sounds of Africa, India and North America. It is a celebration of humanity and a portrait of a world at peace.

Shot entirely on 70mm film, Imax format, the film is a celebration of the universal language of rhythm, and an exploration of the immense variety of expression in music and movement around the world, all of which Stomp's creators consider to be an inspiration to their work.

The film was shot between 2000 and 2002, in the USA, South Africa, Brazil, India, Spain and the UK. It features the first helicopter footage of New York allowed after the events of 9/11.

GUARDIAN

a poetic and upbeat audio-visual travelogue featuring extraordinary performers in beautiful settings... It's an exciting film that pulsates with the sounds of a global beat, and the UK's biggest cinema screen -five double decker buses high and 26 metres wide- is the place to see it.

LONDON EVENING STANDARD

If you've seen the hit show STOMP and loved it, make the IMAX your next stop.... a spectacular global journey. Its a feelgood world music fest that will quicken your pulse and up the beat.

TIME OUT LONDON

The pictures are stunning enough, but it's the clarity and depth of the audio that truly astounds

WHATS ON LONDON

Seeing a film at the IMAX theatre is always pretty special, And when the film also involves the stage show STOMP, you know you're in for something extraordinary. (It's) a symphony of world music, rhythm and dance. This is a fun, modern, rhythmic performance that both adults and children will enjoy. *****

REVIEWS

BBC

This soundtrack celebrates the rhythm that binds everyone together, the one language all the world understands. In our difficult times, what could be more exciting than that?

NEW YORK POST

The camera soars above the globe in dazzling panoramic shots that make the most of the large-screen format, before swooping down on a string of exotic locales, scooping the whole world up in a joyous communal festival of rhythm.

SEATTLE TIMES

PULSE... offers a glimpse of how harmonious our planet might be, if we stopped talking for a minute and just started listening.

BIG MOVIE ZONE

Spontaneous cheers and thunderous applause are rare things inside any movie theater ... The clapping hands and delighted shouts heard inside the Ontario Place Cinesphere.. were all the more amazing because they belonged to seen-it-all veterans of the Large Format industry.... PULSE: A Stomp Odyssey had just rocked the proverbial house...
