Noodles

In a sea of irreverent chaos and a world of knots, wires and spaghetti, Noodles is the surreal journey of five quirky characters and their relationship with the stringy food staple.

Aerialists, hand-balancers, wire-walkers, contortionists and magicians twist and bend the frontiers of reality. Noodles is a mouth-wateringly surreal dish served with a side order of family friendly madness.

For this project we teamed up with Maksim Komaro and Holly Stoppit, and together, set out to put a Circus into a Theatre not Theatre into Circus. With a very progressive and experimental application of the circus techniques we have created something beautiful, something abstract, something amazing, something totally different and something for everyone.

In a sea of irreverent chaos and a world of knots, wires and spaghetti, a surreal cooking show loses the plot and the noodles take over.

Aerialists, hand-balancers, wire-walkers, contortionists and musicians twist and spin reality in an original and inventive show that challenges your preconceptions about circus. Beautiful and completely mad!
