A Conspiracy Of Clowns

Yep – this time next week, QUACK! will have finished its first performance at the Out the Box Festival.  Can’t wait!  Excitement is mounting…

Here, Granny models the latest in our thinking of developed make-up for the characters. 

The first person to even mutter “Avatar” gets taken round the back and beaten with a rolled up newspaper.  You have been warned. 

(And besides, we’ve been tinkering with this idea looooong before that movie came out…so there…)

It’s on, folks – QUACK! performs at Out the Box Festival: Thurs 25 March 6pm, Fri 26 March 7pm, and Sat 27 March at 5pm, at The Arena Theatre, Hiddingh Campus.  Book now at Computicket.

Meanwhile, check out the latest teaser by those Yawazzi guys.  Awesome!

I’d love to take credit for having come up with that, but it belongs to the most beloved Tink.  We’re pleased as all hell to introduce a short promo of QUACK! where the cast and crew talk about the process, as well as the audience having their say.  Made by Sanjin of those awesome Yawazzi guys.

Don’t forget – QUACK! on at Out the Box Festival: 25, 26, and 27 March at the Arena Theatre…book now at Computicket.

And so, it is nearly upon us…drum roll…the 2010 edition of Out the Box Festival of Puppetry and Visual Performance!

We’re busy putting new ideas into place for QUACK! – a small shuffling of roles, a combining of masks, and a developing of story.  We’re never quite just finished with a work, hell no.  Always something to fiddle and poke around at.  Ees the way we like it.

But it’s gonna be a blast – check out the website for more details, there are some awesome sounding performances, workshops, and talks going on.

This is why Cape Town is the cultural centre of SA.  This is why we have the reputation for ground-breaking and innovative work.  This is where it’s at.
