MUSIC
One is good with his fingers, the other is good with his mouth. Beatbox sensation and one-man orchestra, Tom Thum – best known for the most watched TEDx talk of all time – joins forces with bohemian singer-songwriter, Jamie MacDowell, to form a truly unique duo that are “redefining musical parameters” (Nouse). Armed only with a guitar and a versatile voice box able to convey any instrument, this show eschews cynicism, exudes joy, and defies expectations. A funny, riotous combination of folk-pop songs and virtuosic beatboxing that just works, even if you can't work out why.

COMEDY THEATRE
The award-winning company behind A Tribute of Sorts and Klutz return with an electric new comedy of histrionic proportions. Ascending to the throne at age 25, Elizabeth I of England reigned for 45 years. What you might not know is that she secretly considered herself an artist... A ghost-like vision of The Virgin Queen takes her audience on a shamelessly theatrical trip into her deep dark artistic pursuits, poems of pugs, a knack for knickers and mountains of makeup. Part historical fan fiction, part stand-up comedy, and part late night slow dance – welcome to the strange and wonderful world of one of history’s most powerful women.

The heart beats over 100,000 times per day, affecting our emotional experience with every action. The heart is in control. The signals generated by its rhythmic activity determine the quality of our emotional experience, from moment to moment.

This is an exploration of the heart… through circus. Transformed, twisted, transplanted, cut open and sewn back together. Modern acrobatics with a heart beating rhythm.
