Do Not Disturb takes us back to the early 20th century, during a day’s work in a factory. Four characters are asked to build a machine, a 2.5 metre wheel, without any instructions and without even knowing what the machine looks like. They fit items together and then take them to pieces again, solving issues such as balance and counter balance. Their lack of guidance throws up all manner of funny, exciting and risky situations throughout the performance. A high energy, poetic show that combines dance, acrobatics and physical theatre with contemporary circus tricks.
The characters are like children playing sabotage, with no prejudices. But as time goes on, they are becoming adults. They suddenly notice the weight of days and work, learn from experience and eventually grow up and become adults.
Review:
‘…a piece of physical theatre and contemporary circus at its very best, combining dangerously vertiginous acrobatics, graceful dancing, and an ingeniously designed giant prop, together with Chaplin-like humour and originally composed music.’ PlaystoSee.com
