Mrs Perfume performs...
an Opera in 521 breaths and three acts

 

We are very excited to be collaborating with Eeva-Maria Mutka on her solo show. Eeva-Maria is a performer, maker and community dance leader currently based in Bristol, UK. She grew up on the Arctic Circle, Finland, but has lived in the UK since the age of 17. 

 

From an initial R&D at Waterlilies, Bristol, Apr 15th-19th 2024, we created the
story of Mrs Perfume who has discovered how to make operas through her nose and invites the audience into her rehearsal room to share her radical new approach to making and performing opera. It could create quite a big stink in the world of opera and beyond.

Wee Wrap (working title)

​

is the third in a trilogy of non-text plays we are creating in collaboration with Theaterhaus Ensemble for two year olds upwards. This is the further adventures of our two cleaners in a museum of modern art who accidently get caught up in the art and end up making art. In this adventure they walk into a gallery with a lot of objects wrapped up just like the work of the artists Christo and Jeanne Claude. How are they going to clean it?

Tooth Fairies searching for the tooth

For three-year olds upwards

An original idea

This is a sequel to “Wo ist Feenland?” (Where is Fairyland?) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c7wPiWjsMP4 a show Anthony created with Jokk Mokk in Frankfurt following the adventures of Twinkle and Star. What you will discover in this show is that tooth fairies don’t just collect the milk teeth from human children, they collect the first teeth from the entire animal kingdom. They fly up high to get the giraffe’s tooth, they dive down deep to get the shark’s teeth, and look all around for the dog’s tooth. In return for the “tooth” they always leave something behind. But one night they come to the bed of a human child who won’t let go of her tooth until she finds out what they do with them. Will she find out the tooth?  

 

The Funny Club (Clown show_1)

An original idea

 

The local arts society, established in 1923, is putting on their annual summer exhibition. All the members of the society are allocated space to show their best works of art, which since 1969 includes performance art. There are prizes to be won, stirring up the competitive spirit amongst the society members which can bring out the best and worst in them. There is the artist who keeps their work under wraps until the final hour of the event who is displaying right next to “chick – hen” who encourages her chickens to paint their dreams, mostly with their feet. Next to her is “just-ice” an ice sculptor who has trouble with his ice melts and is very unpopular with the caretaker. Looking in from the outside they do look like a funny club but don’t mention that to them, because most of them take it very, very, very seriously. 

 

Entrümpelung ! (Clown show_2) 

 

An original idea

 

Watch out there is going to be an Entrümpelung – a clearing out – there’s going to be lots of Gerümpel – junk – and maybe some Schätze – treasure. Everybody is coming to the Hausratsauflösung – house clearance. And we mean everybody: the odd bods, the nosey bods, the scary bods, the mean bods, the lovely bods, the don’t know why we are here bods. 

 

You can entrümpel your house, you can entrümpeln your head, you can even entrümpel your life but do you dare have a Hausratsauflösung ?
