Milton Keynes is one of the twelve host cities for Rugby World Cup 2015. The Stables and IF: Milton Keynes International Festival have been commissioned by The Parks Trust Events Ltd to deliver this outdoor showcase.
To celebrate Rugby World Cup 2015, the streets of Milton Keynes will become the setting for a free outdoor spectacular as international companies Les Commandos Percu (from France) and Deabru Beltzak (from the Basque region of Spain) do battle in Clash of Drums / Danbor Talka.
The two tribes will meet in a collision of fast and frenzied drumming, war-like chanting, fireworks, pyrotechnics and movement. Setting off from Lloyds Court (Friday 2 October) and Campbell Park (Saturday 3 October), the crowds can follow the combat action as it sweeps through the streets of Milton Keynes towards a fiery finale next to The Point.
Les Commandos Percu will be joined by a team of eight UK and Milton Keynes-based pyrotechnic artists who will train with the company and perform in Clash of Drums / Danbor Talka as part of an international professional development programme delivered by The Stables, IF: Milton Keynes International Festival and Festive Road.
