Circus performance by Tit for Tat.

Words words words. What if we just forgot language for a moment, and connected with something more simple? Something innate, primal, and as loud as a look?

Exploring their own degenerative hearing loss as a source of celebratory play and invention, a clown stumbles before its audience, and dances between the chattering heads and the singing hands of strangers. Tackling cultural boundaries and personal identity through moments of chaos, sincerity, interconnectivity, and utter nonsense.

Immerse yourself in a world where the loudest actions are lost in translation, and the tiniest looks become deafening. A visual spectacle that celebrates silence, and throws a wordless ear-splitting laugh into the face of frustration – in an effort for one clown to simply say “hello!”

Free, drop-in.

About Tit for Tat

Tit for Tat has performed pieces both small and large all across the UK. Whether its making chips for the public in a blur of ketchup and salt, launching furniture halfway across the stage, or becoming chaotically tangled in the Outdoor Arts – Tit for Tat brings a special element of heartfelt complicity and comedic near-calamity to all their performances.
