About the show

Our 38^th original production was a co-production with Bristol Old Vic in association with Champloo Dance Company, made especially for Christmas.

There are beds to be jumped on, pillows to be fought with, seas to be sailed... Who can sleep on Christmas Eve? This piece of dance-theatre captures the delirious excitement of two boys waiting for Santa to arrive on the most magical night of the year.

Over Christmas 2010 Boing! performed at Bristol Old Vic; for Christmas 2011, 2012 and 2013 Boing! was resident at Sadler’s Wells; and in autumn 2013 it toured to venues across the UK. Boing! bounced back in 2016, first appearing at the prestigious On The Edge international festival in Birmingham in July, then at Christmas it was at the Unicorn Theatre in London for 5 fantastic weeks, and was won the Offie (Off West End) Award for Best Production for Young People 0-7. We returned to the Unicorn Theatre in Christmas 2017 with sold out houses throughout the run, before jetting off to A.S.K in Shanghai for a 3 week run, delighting international audiences.

Watch out for the further adventures of Boing! to be announced soon . . .

Utterly dazzling. Rumbustious, exhilarating dance theatre The Guardian ****
