Circus Stachamoose
The Circus Stachamoose from Your Man’s Puppets introduces us to the theatrical delights from the intrepid Stachamoose brothers, who hail from the mist-shrouded Orient.
Vlado, the magician, is the sombre, enigmatic master of arts of varying degrees of darkness, while Elmer is, in Bob Dylan's memorable phrase, really just a song-and-dance man. These suspiciously similar-looking brothers display an energetic mix of physical comedy and manual dexterity using a nicely balanced blend of mischievous humour and accomplished puppeteer skills.
The brothers are joined by Jub-Jub, variously described as that dexterous dog, performing pooch and clowning canine. While no one of a romantic disposition will be able to resist the Hansters – part hand, part hamster – and their tale of true love.
A special guest performance is provided in a death-defying tightrope act by a mysteriously shrunken Little Brother.
As nice a slice of surreal humour as you're likely to witness this year.
