Deaf Gathering: OftheJackel: Splat!

Outdoor performance | 55 minutes | Devised for children aged 3-7 years but fun for all the family!

Splat! is a physical comedy about art and creativity.

Set in a studio, the show follows two aspiring artists: one dedicated and serious, the other erratic and messy. The two characters attempt to complete their masterpieces – antagonising each other in the process!

Between them, the Splat y take a journey through the visual, exploring significant movements in art history, and the techniques of the ‘great masters’. Eventually they realise that if they want to achieve anything they have to work together.

The show explores themes of collaboration, play, dedication, spontaneity and letting go.

This is an outdoor performance – please wrap up warm! If the weather isn’t on our side, we’ll move to the theatre.

BSL interpreters will be available to support our audiences throughout the show.
