This show belongs to the Adelaide Fringe 2026 season. This season is now over.

A man and a woman in matching overalls stand in front of a haphazard cubby created out of blankets, poles and furniture. There are warm fairy lights and they are leaning out of the space as if they are curious and listening
A cheeky looking woman sits on a couch inside a cubby made from chairs, blankets and brooms, she holds a short electrical lead, a man emerges from behind the scene walking forwards and looking purposeful
Two people struggle to each carry a ridiculous number of items including brooms, ironing boards, umbrellas, buckets and rope. they look awkward and ridiculous the man looks comically concerned while the woman has a cheeky grin

Watch and be amazed as sheets, broomsticks, chairs and couches transform into fantastical places to play and explore using ridiculous clowning, spectacular acrobatics and beautiful visual imagery.

Celebrating the kind of creative genius that can turn lounge rooms into volcanoes, trees into castles and cardboard boxes into racing cars. If you’ve ever made a cubby in your lounge room, or helped a little one create their own, this is an inspiring and delightful new theatrical experience that you and the whole family will enjoy. 

★★★★★ “a delightful celebration of imagination from two charismatic performers” Kids in Adelaide

★★★★★ “Classic physical theatre…smart slapstick, and expressive non-verbal storytelling.” Play and Go

★★★★ “ My 7-year-old was totally absorbed. A 50-minute gem” Kiddo Mag
