Bestival/Standon ‘08

A caravan that looks from the outside like it houses an old couple on holiday in Norfolk hides a secret world. Inside the caravan is The Gem, an intimate booth in the American Old West. One person at a time is admitted for a unique experience that will engage and excite.
Each performance takes around five minutes. Movement, magic, music and story are used to immerse the audience member into the world of the Old West. Stories revolve around connected themes of freedom, amoral love and plain bad luck.
Festival as a concept serves to upturn an existing world order, reverses power roles and brings excitement. This experience is perfect for a party or festival as it does just that. The Gem supplements the main event without taking the focus, a small experience that adds to the atmosphere. As you walk through the thin red curtain you effectively walk back 150 years and into the company of some shady individual with a tale to tell.
We can set up booths in all manner of locations to suit your needs, we are always interested in transforming spaces into pockets of intrigue. The idea of a private space with intimate performances is achievable anywhere and will make your event extremely memorable for those brave enough to take the plunge into mystery. Contact us here.
