Belly laughs, gut feelings and
butterflies – our tummies are a
world of emotion. Fausto Barile’s
abdomen is more animated than
most as you’ll discover when he
unbuttons his coat to reveal a
theatre complete with stage, an
audience and plush red curtains.

Look closely and you might
spot these mystical characters.
Challenging our weakening
connection with nature, the Grass
Men, who are part sculpture part
performance, briefly restore an
ancient relationship to the green
spaces in our urban environment.

Exploring ideas of home,
homelessness and our desire to
find a place we can call our own,
this new show weaves together
slapstick comedy with breathtaking
aerial performance and acrobatics,
culminating in the creation of a
‘house’ for you to enter.
Normal life gets taken for a spin
in this playful show imagining the
things we would change if we could
– like being able to fly home when
the bus is late. With acrobatics and
humour, Mimbre apply a spoonful
of Mary Poppins and Super Girl’s
red cape to freeze the baddies.
Bring your little ones along to this
spellbinding, interactive show
based on the popular children’s
book by Emily Hughes. A real life
garden in a large glass box provides
the setting for a story which will
melt your heart and you might even
get your hands dirty too.
Contemporary clown duo Ariza
Barcina and Kati Francis weave a
story which is both awkward and
extraordinary, silly and strange.
Witness the beguiling confrontation
of a bonkers bag lady and a
struggling business man, in this
celebratory performance fusing
live music, physical theatre and
puppetry.

awesome and unpredictable
performance based on a Soviet

era circus act, here remixed for
the 21st century. Steel, concrete
and motors meet in this daredevil
duet based around a spinning
structure, which takes juggling
into an entirely new dimension.
