Ampthill arts jam
Circo Rum Ba Ba Presents: Box
Outdoor performance at Ampthill Park
Saturday 19th July
11am, 1pm & 3pm
Suitable for the whole family
Meeting place: Ampthill Park Performance Area (opposite the Coffee Lodge)
A curious box lies still in Ampthill Park…
Music wakes up what hides inside, as eyes appear from every angle and strange creatures begin to emerge from within. As the music builds, the box erupts into a frenzy of tap dancing and a half bird, half human contortionist balances precariously on top. What other creatures will appear and what else can possibly be contained within this bottomless box? Join us in Ampthill Park this summer for an exciting and funny family show packed with dance, awesome acrobatics and impressive puppetry.

Earth’s unlikely hero: an adventurous chicken who is blasted into space to solve all our planet’s problems. Sounds ridiculous? Not for our heroic hen, who will boldly go where no poultry has gone before. With stunning puppetry and original banjo synth music, this rocket-fuelled madcap adventure is not to be missed.
