The Rebellion arrive.
Full of hope, fiercely comic and on a mission to disrupt the public norm. The audience join in with the unfurling games, exploring power and control. A curious sense of excitement bubbles, uniting THE PEOPLE in a joyful riot of love!
TRUTH!
TRUTH! is a Dadaists take on a brighter future, a gentle call to action, a quiet rebellion.
In a world so divisive & full of conflict, can we take a moment of time to rebuild our trust ?”
TRUTH! is a highly inclusive and accessible show - suitable for all audiences and ages.
TRUTH! Access
Truth has access and inclusion at its core, with a cast of both neurodivergent and neurotypical performers.
The show has very little spoken language. Instead, it has a gestural language that supports the live action.
Truth gently invites people to join in the performance. As well as leaving space for those who prefer to watch.
Audio Description is available at some live performances - Please visit the What's On section for more information.
There are BSL & Audio flyers, an audio introduction and and Easy Read introduction to the show, the links are above
The TRUTH! Journey
Ramshacklicious and Hijinx have been collaborating since 2022 to experiment with inclusive performance language using clown and physical theatre to create work co-devised by all of the cast.
Working with both neurodivergent and neurotypical performers, making space for performers to improvise and play with an audience has been a key part of this process.
HIJINX are one of Europe’s leading inclusive theatre companies, creating outstanding performances with learning disabled and/or autistic performers for stage, screen & out- doors. They create exhilarating, subversive theatre from large to small scale for both indoor and outdoors. Artists with learning disabilities and/or autism are involved every step of the way in the making and performing of their stories.
It all started with a Club Supreme collaboration presented at Hijinx’s inclusive theatre festival,Unity Festival, in 2022.
Since then, the project has grown through several stages of workshops, creative exchanges, research & rehearsal processes and festival tryouts
All this shared experimentation has shaped what we now know as TRUTH!
