Venue: Beijing Tianqiao Performing Arts Center

Price: 80-580 yuan

Choreographer and Artistic Director Vincent Pausanias wanted to create a show that would showcase the magic of tap at its highest possible technical level using world renowned tappers. Pausanias created this marvelously dynamic show known as Tap Factory. Vincent wanted to create a Tap Show, but he also used his large experience as a director of many different shows to introduce other disciplines as Urban percussions, acrobatics, Hip hop and Comedy, to bring Tap Factory to another dimension. This fusion between all those amazing artists, part of the bests in their own disciplines and in the same time completely polyvalent, creates a unique show where amazing performances, exciting rhythms, energy and poetry are joining together with a great sense of comedy and humor.
