A 189 year-old 12-year-old boy is searching for the answer to his life long question: “Why aren’t I like the other children, Mother?” International physical theatre collective dANTE OR dIE joins forces with a range of acoustic folk musicians, to bring you the modern myth of the Caliper Boy: a tale of freaks, fright, folk song, flying burgers and frantic underground whispers. Caliper Boy’s endless urban existence is illuminated through an evocative live score, distorted body parts and tales that disorientate and perturb.

“Wonderful…haunting” Total Theatre

‘Good performances, good script, excellent music and a production that is engrossing … something in this piece mesmerises… Intriguing and worth seeing.’ – The Stage

‘gripping…inspired passages…Terry O’Donovan and dancer Sarah Sproull who twist and writhe expressively, and a gaggle of musicians who strum, blow and bang with aplomb to produce haunting soundscapes…’ – Time Out

Devised by the Company. Directed by Daphna Attias.
