The designs and animations are by Jamie Hewlett, designer for Gorillaz, and the cast includes 40 Chinese circus acrobats, singers and martial arts performers.
Acts including rapper Loyle Carner, Norwegian pop star Sigrid, trip-hop icon Neneh Cherry and Australian rock band Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever appear further down the bill, which also features comedy, theatre and arts performers.
There's also SESC here, which is a private/public institution with a strong cultural presence in São Paulo – they give room to a lot of arts performers, mainly music.
The show struck executives as a little of everything (vaudeville, theater, clowning, acrobatics) but neither entrancing nor memorable by the standards of Cirque — whose popular shows include "Ka" (a gravity-defying production, inspired by martial arts performers) and "O" (a water show).
Walliams, who starred as the eccentric art performer Vulva in Spaced, said on Twitter: "I'm thrilled to be working with my genius friend @edgarwright & the mighty @DWAnimation writing a new animated film".
That movie proved to be "Rush Hour" in 1998, which had the added difficulty of featuring a co-star, the great martial-arts performer Jackie Chan, whose grasp of American English--particularly street slang--was limited.
The young performer, who has already been on numerous television commercials and is considering a pilot with Fox Television, feels lucky to have discovered "Stomp". The show is a perfect match for his energetic personality and talents as a drummer, dancer, actor and martial-arts performer.
You'll see that the AIFFs have the iTunes store ID tags [song, album art, performer, etc.] instead of just Track 1, Track 2, etc.
