A bedraggled clown's face pushes through the horizontal crack in a giant egg.

A clown, dressed in a white egg costume, conducts the audience as a choir, his long arms and torso stretched high above his humorously short looking legs, a look of excitement on his face.

A figure balances atop a metal pole, arms outstretched, smoke rising out of an internally illuminated giant eggshell from which the pole has risen.

En Haut (Up Up Up Up Up)

A fool is born in the sky. He plunges to Earth, and hatches from an egg. Can he build a tower tall enough to reach home, or will he be consumed by the shadows that pursue him from below?

'En Haut (Up Up Up Up Up)' was conceived in the French countryside, developed in London and the Caucasus Mountains in Georgia, and is ready to hatch at Adelaide Fringe 2025. The show touches on themes of balance, control and loss of control, chaos and order, ambition and aspiration, transcendence, failure, and death. It features a giant egg and a five metre ascent. But don't let all that fool you. It's funny. Seriously.

Featuring live Georgian choral music sung by our collaborating choir - Tsinskaro.
