Our Story

DSC_6866_edited.jpg

We are a multi-award winning UK / NORWAY based physical theatre company founded at l'École Internationale de Théâtre Jacques Lecoq...

We are a Brighton / Oslo based company.

Making action-packed theatre which challenges social norms and plays with perspectives. Using an innovative creative language that blends razor sharp physicality, clown and martial arts, our work is like a comic book: violent, beautiful, funny and epic.
