CURRENT PRODUCTIONS
This show, set in an age where petrol has run out, reflects how, in a globalised world, our lives are woven together. All power for the show is generated by its cast.

This performance installation uses grains of rice to bring human statistics to vivid life and tell powerful stories of the world in which we live.

This spectacular piece of visual theatre is performed on a stage 2m wide and 14m deep. It boldly explores themes of power and cleansing through its elusive female protagonist.

This international thriller uses slide projections to glide across Europe. Its evocative text, constructed from the simple language of tourist phrase books, reveals the hallucinogenic world of an unlikely assassin.

An act of Victorian illusion, a fairground ride, a peep show, a piece of live cinema; lasting 240 seconds and performed live for an audience of one.

A cross between a fairground ride and a rite of passage. Its dark twisting corridors are filled with unexpected sensations, sights and sounds. A hit with audiences of all ages. Audiences can go through alone or in pairs.

FUTURE PRODUCTIONS
Site-specific installation giving instructions for a public performance.
