An emergent idea
2024 & the birth of the Paperverse.
Capers in the Paperverse
Exploring the realms of encounter in performance.
on a set of wheels bespoke and spoken freely
& introducing
UBI
the Unbelievable Bureau of Investigations
Definitely not the FBI
A typewriter at the heart of all that happens….
The Remingtons ribbon laying ink in verbatim.
A Special Agent from way back when… looking to collect whatever truths he can find and to write them down.
Riding his hat-stand around and creating streetcorners everywhere he goes…
Spaces to mingle and meet…
pop-up theatre impromptu.
Spontaneous emergent theatre.
A space for open wonder and shared culture
a mobile dynamic stage with space for guests
A space where simple props come alive whilst the cruiser croons charming tunes.
Deploying the classic banana phone as communication tool
Our cast will build itself into instant roles.
Note takers / look outs / alibis / snitches – its all to play for.
May also feature a timehopping detective re-examining the classic case of Michael Finnigan.
Perhaps our Trenchcoated Fool will capture the different versions of truth & see how they all stack up
Using playful live encounters our intrepid Special Agent creates a space for parley and new possibilities –
involving the audience in ways which push boundaries
Strictly No Guns ( just bananas )
A Street Theatre encounter space…. festivals, campsites & school playgrounds….
Capers in the Paperverse is so much more than a festival pop-up
Schoolbased Oracy programmes will bring words to life…
Launching in September 24 and offering termtime encounters with poetry, prose and playful parley… check out the schools tab for more info….
.
In March 24 we find this moment.
The whiles ahead of us will be captured in a live blog mission to tell the tale.
Let THE CAPERS begin….
