Giant Humming Top
Manually pumped, this humming top spins and plays a melody. Six of these humming tops became icons of the travelling open-air theatre Amsterdams Electrisch Circus (AEC). They were designed for the musical piece To You by composer Peter Schat. With these eye-catchers, set up on trucks, the AEC organized free music theatre from 1972 onwards, as an alternative to the ‘elitist’ concert hall.
