Out-of-the-Ordinary Visual Theatre set in a Wondrous Tinkering Heaven.

Makers, creators and story lovers; dive into a theatrical adventure that feels like the magic box of a bygone trickster!

Journey to an eccentric place where gadgets are poetic, puppets naughty, machines untamed and circus tricks pop up when you’re least expecting it! This is a world where music appears from lemons, carrots and bunny’s bums, monsters go crazy and birthday parties are ferociously celebrated.

Loose Ends is the story of a man who thinks he can organise all his life in boxes, and has a knack for getting into mischief. Can this tinkerer learn enough about real friendship to keep him out of trouble?

This breathtaking show is highly visual, emotional and unpredictable. It makes inventions and machines fun and adds a few quirky edges to puppetry.

Audience info | Ages 5 – 12

WORKSHOPS (60 minutes) – BONUS SCHOOL HOLIDAY FUN!
Thursday 1 October 11am & 1pm

Science, fun and construction go hand-in-hand in this fascinating workshop – the perfect school holiday activity for inquisitive minds!

After a short introduction to the functioning of contraptions and into the world of chain- reactions, participants will build a room sized domino-like mechanism out of recycled materials. Equipped with a building sheet, participants will start transforming a pile of apparent random stuff into a working component of the whole machine in a process of creative thinking, tinkering and experimentation.

Once all assembled and connected, participants learn to preset their part, eliminate mistakes and explain the functioning of their section to others. After that, off we go! Once triggered, there is no stopping the chain-reaction (at least in a perfect world) until the big final surprise: it ends as a Wacky Lolly Shooting Machine!

This workshop is suitable for ages 8 – 12 years, spaces are strictly limited and bookings are essential. Scroll down the page to book!
