There is a water fountain with an ‘Out of Order’ sign hanging on it.

A lanky plumber arrives carrying a clatter of pipes and equipment, he goes to fix the fountain. Suddenly water explodes in his face, chaos and craic quickly follow, with slapstick and comedy falling over themselves to catch up.

Whoopee cushions pour out of his tool box, creating havoc, combining with pipes to create classical music on the worlds first Whoopee Cushion Organ (See photo).
Physical theatre, object manipulation and absurd live music all collide with contemporary clown and an unforgettable stunt of stupidity- A high dive onto a giant whoopee cushion which comes out from… the Fountain of Joy!

What makes us feel at home— a place, a person, the world we dive into when we open a book, or the objects holding our favourite memories? The unique mix of spoken word poetry and contemporary circus with hula hoops, this performance revolves around identity, belonging, and the ties that connect us. Honest, touching, full of humour and empathy, Belonging is a powerful reflection on what truly matters in life.

The idea for Belonging has its roots in Kathrin saying goodbye to the house she grew up in. Amidst a mixture of grief, nostalgia, memories and a ton of inanimate objects which suddenly seemed to mean the world – she started pondering on and writing about the many facets of belonging—whether it’s belonging to a place, to people, and what it takes for our adult self to feel at home.

In this workshop, Wes will guide you through his unique ball juggling techniques. Teaching you new juggling repertoire while explaining the underlying concepts behind the tricks and how to expand those ideas into other aspects of your own juggling.
