about dragon heart beats
Dragon Heart Beats combines otherworldly performers with an extraordinary five metre fire-breathing dragon sculpted by Hubcapcreatures for a dramatic live music and street theatre experience.
Powerful percussive music amplified by the Dragon's 2 kilowatt onboard sound system accompanies smoke, lighting effects, fiery dragon breath and pyrotechnics.
We also provide inspiring percussion workshops.
