The Curious Game

A show like no other, where the world of fairytales and board games collide, and the audience become the show. 

With the pomp and ceremony of ridiculous rituals and eccentric dance, characters from an oversized chess board come to life. A bossy Queen, a stupid knight and a pawn with a touch of cunning, conduct an interactive, absurd and humorous game for all ages. 

The Curious Game is a predominantly non-verbal performance that uses archetypal characters. Using symbols
and gesture, The Curious Game challenges the audience
 to become participants and interpret the Queen’s signs without discussion, by thinking laterally and acting physically. 

“As a school community – staff and students alike – we all thought this was one of the best performances that we have had at our school. The show was highly engaging, interactive, entertaining and educational. The performers were a delight to work with through bump in and out! So grateful for the opportunity to have a performance of this calibre at our school.”
