Baro d’evel Qui Som? (Who Are We?)

‘Baro d’evel has produced something that entertains, amazes and delights in equal measure, and that sends its audience out quietly asking who they are and what on earth they are doing. It is no tub-thumping call to arms, but the message is there for anyone willing to see it. Strange, beautiful and well worth the two hours’

Two very special shows

BARO D'EVEL Who Are We (Qui Som)?
These visionary French theatre-makers make their UK debut with a dazzling, high-energy collision of dance, theatre, music - and clay! Welcome to a world where acrobats, clowns, musicians and sculptors conjure a joyous universe of wonder.

“Breathtaking acrobatics and just as many spectacular falls. From the moment the performers appear in their clay-whitened outfits, their faces hidden beneath unfired terracotta pots transformed by their skilful fingers into monstrous heads, all bets are off. Chaos reigns…” La Provence

GECKO returns in January 2027 with Ķīn, a groundbreaking production that captures the humanity of migration and how we hold, reinvent or erase our identities to survive in a foreign land.

‘We exist both where we’ve come from and where we’re going.’

Ķīn is a story of families fleeing, arriving and beginning again, told through Gecko’s trademark style with hypnotising beauty, a global soundtrack and raw emotion.

Drawing on the lived experiences of Gecko’s Artistic Director Amit Lahav and international ensemble, Ķīn asks what we carry with us, what we leave behind and the cost of becoming someone new.

‘Kin is an enchanting sensory assault that leaves you weeping for the state of the world and with a hunger to make change’ ★★★★★ Theatre & Tonic

‘Unconventional and thrilling… will live long in the memory’
★★★★ The Arts Desk

‘Extraordinary to witness’
★★★★ Broadway Baby
