PERFORMANCE

Non-verbal

Dexter is an idealist inventor. Pipe is his quietly brilliant servant. Together they try to invent something extraordinary - from absolutely nothing!

The Maker invites audiences into a world full of physical comedy, visual surprises and strange magical experiments that teeter between magnificence and disaster. The team behind the festival hit A Very Old Man with Enormous Wings have created a fantastically playful and wordless show taking inspiration from Beckett, Borges and Buster Keaton. With clever design and a good dose of humour, this show appeals to young and old alike.

Co-produced by Riverbank Arts Centre and Mermaid Arts Centre.

IMPORTANT NOTES:

If you would like to select this event as your 1st choice, please submit the form below. Please understand that this is a booking request, not a guarantee that places will be available. The form will ask you to indicate 2 other events that your class might enjoy, and every effort will be made to allocate all groups to a suitable performance. We also ask that you do not repeat your first preference as this lowers your groups chances of being allocated.

Booking for a single class (approx. 30 children) means you are more likely to be allocated to your preferred events. We are more than happy to accommodate larger groups, but your allocated show will depend on venue capacity. Please get in touch if you have any questions or concerns.
