With the pomp and ceremony of ridiculous rituals and eccentric dance, characters from an oversized chess board come to life. A bossy Queen, a stupid knight and a pawn with a touch of cunning, conduct an interactive, absurd and humorous game for all ages. 

The Curious Game is a predominantly non-verbal performance that uses archetypal characters. Using symbols
and gesture, The Curious Game challenges the audience
 to become participants and interpret the Queen’s signs without discussion, by thinking laterally and acting physically. 

Born in a Taxi is an award-winning physical theatre ensemble devised by Penny BaronCarolyn Hanna and Nick Papas. The artists create theatrical productions for indoor, outdoor and site-specific environments that are absurd, comical, and physical!
