A THEATRICAL FAIRYTALE FOR THE FIERCE HEARTED

​

'The Top 50 Cultural Events of 2020 - The Telegraph

​

Award winning comedians and Gaulier trained physical performers Helen Duff (as seen in BBC 2’s The Mash Report / BBC 3 / HOLMES & WATSON) and Elf Lyons (as seen on BBC 3/ DAVE TV and ‘The Stand Up Sketch Show’ ITV2) unite in a beautiful and anarchic homage to the absurd life of cult surrealist Leonora Carrington.

 

A runaway, writer, artist and anarchist who refused to be put in a box, Carrington escaped a mental institution via submarine, married an ambassador to escape the Nazis, and made omelettes with her own hair. Helen and Elf would like to take you into her world.

​

Through vivid and divine mime, clowning, puppetry and more, Duff and Lyons transport the audience into the mind of one of the most eccentric visionaries of the 20th century.
