Imagine: an action movie – in real life. With one of the most boring heroes eeeever. An egg. An egg no one is allowed to touch – we repeat: no one. A boring egg, you could say. A boring egg guarded by two boring attendants in a museum (attendants are the boring people that guard art, and art is… ehh… we’ll tell you another time). And just when this is starting to get so boring that it makes you fall asleep, we find ourselves in the middle of a high-speed chase.
Two deadpan, boring mime-performers guard the action hero: Egg. With minimal means and much garden-variety magic they make themselves, each other and Egg disappear. It will for sure be dangerous, so please do try this at home.
Grown Ups has a background in physical theatre and works with movement and physical scenes as a base for their performances. This often results in an eccentric, comedic and absurd style of theatre that resonates well with both children and adults.
